Emergence delirium in children is not related to intraoperative burst suppression - prospective, observational electrography study.

Background: Emergence-delirium is the most frequent brain dysfunction in children recovering from general anaesthesia, though the pathophysiological background remains unclear. The presented study analysed an association between emergence delirium and intraoperative Burst Suppression activity in the electroencephalogram, a period of very deep hypnosis during general anaesthesia.

Methods: In this prospective, observational cohort study at the Charité - university hospital in Berlin / Germany children aged 0.

Emergence delirium in children is related to epileptiform discharges during anaesthesia induction: An observational study.

Background: Epileptiform discharges frequently occur in children during induction of anaesthesia. However, studies analysing the impact of epileptiform discharges on postoperative emergence delirium in children are still scarce. The aim of this study is to correlate the incidence of epileptiform activity during anaesthesia induction with the occurrence of emergence delirium during stay in the recovery room.

Incidence of epileptiform discharges in children during induction of anaesthesia using Propofol versus Sevoflurane.

Objective: In pediatric patients, anaesthesia induction is often performed with intravenous Propofol or Sevoflurane inhalation. Although epileptiform discharges have been observed during inductions with Sevoflurane, their occurrence has not been investigated for i.v.
