Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether depth of anesthesia has an effect on emergence agitation (EA) in children age 2 - 8 years old. EA is a common problem in pediatric patients who receive general anesthesia with inhaled anesthetics, and the effect of depth of anesthesia on EA has not been studied. The study will randomize 40 children undergoing ophthalmologic surgery under general anesthesia to either light anesthesia (BIS 55-60) or deep anesthesia (BIS 40-45). EA will be measured by the peak Pediatric Assessment of Emergence Delirium (PAED) score in the recovery room, which rates agitation behaviors on a scale of 0 - 20. The hypothesis is that light anesthesia is associated with more EA.
Primary Outcome
The PAED scale is a validated observational measure of five aspects of child behavior on emergence from anesthesia (caregiver eye contact, purposeful movement, evidence of awareness of surroundings, restlessness, and inconsolability). Ratings are summed to arrive at a total score ranging from 0 - 20, with higher scores indicating greater severity of emergence agitation.
