Abstract
Sevoflurane is an inhaled anesthetic widely used for pediatric anesthesia, but emergence agitation (EA) or emergence delirium (ED) is a common sevoflurane anesthesia recovery-associated problem.1 Emergence agitation is associated with increased risk of injury in children and parents' dissatisfaction with anesthesia care.2 In a web-based survey of pediatric anesthesiologists in Canadian Pediatric Anesthesia Society, 42% felt that EA was a significant problem and 45% of them were giving medication before or during anesthesia to prevent its development.
