Abstract

Delirium of anesthesiology is a clinical phenomenon widespread in children. Although the pathophysiology is still uncertain, some factors seem to be involved, such as rapid awakening in an unknown environment, agitation during anesthetic induction, preoperative anxiety, environmental disorders, pre-anesthetic medication, and inhalational anesthetics. There remain unanswered questions and implications related to the emergence of delirium in children. Although we know that there are some predisposing factors to emergence delirium, we still cannot accurately identify those at most significant risk. Emergent delirium should be considered a ‘vital sign,’ which should be followed and documented in every child in the postanaesthesia recovery period. What should adopt standardized screening tools for pediatric emergence delirium(ED).
