Article Synopsis
  • Early recognition of paediatric emergence delirium (ED) by PACU nurses is essential for effective management, prompting a project focused on enhancing education and standardizing the use of the PAED scale for assessment.
  • The project included training sessions for PACU nurses on the PAED scale, along with comparisons against the more common FLACC scale in evaluating postoperative pediatric patients.
  • Results showed that after the training, nurses felt more confident in using the PAED scale, which also helped decrease the time needed for patient evaluation and treatment of ED, thus improving overall care efficiency.
