IMPLICATIONS: The addition of a small dose of fentanyl given to patients undergoing
nonsurgical sevoflurane anesthesia resulted in a significant decrease in emergence …

Desflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia are associated with emergence agitation in children.
In this study, we examined the effect of a single intraoperative dose of fentanyl on …

Background Propofol and fentanyl can be administered at the end of sevoflurane
anaesthesia to decrease the incidence and severity of emergence agitation (EA), although it …

Background: Emergence agitation in children is frequently associated with the use of the
new highly insoluble volatile anaesthetics. Rapid emergence has been cited as one of the …

SummaryBackground and objective: In children, emergence agitation frequently complicates
sevoflurane and desflurane anaesthesia. The effect of intravenous fentanyl 2.5 μg kg− 1 was …

Background: Emergence agitation (EA) is more frequent after sevoflurane anesthesia than
other inhalational agents but the etiology remains unclear. We investigated whether the EA …

This study was designed to compare the emergence characteristics of sevoflurane with
halothane anaesthesia in paediatric patients having no surgical intervention. We …

IMPLICATIONS: Emergence agitation may occur after general anesthesia with volatile
anesthetics in children. A more rapid emergence with less agitation, as measured by the …

This review assessed the incidence of emergence agitation in children anaesthetised with
either sevoflurane or halothane. The authors concluded that sevoflurane exhibited a …

IMPLICATIONS: Effective postoperative analgesia may reduce the incidence of emergence
agitation reported with sevoflurane anesthesia. The Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale …
