Article Synopsis
- - A 36-year-old pregnant woman, 36 weeks along, was admitted after a car accident and had a history of gestational diabetes.
- - She suffered multiple fractures that necessitated surgery, for which a combined spinal and supraclavicular block was used for anesthesia.
- - The surgery went well, and she remained stable in recovery, with a backup plan for general anesthesia and an emergency cesarean if required.
Background: Emergence delirium (ED) has been reported among children at a postoperative setting, which delays their recovery and exposes them to traumas. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ED and its associated factors among children who underwent surgeries at a major tertiary healthcare facility in Saudi Arabia.
Materials And Methods: Between March and August 2018, a retrospective cohort study was conducted based on a review of 413 medical charts of children (<14 years) who underwent an elective/nonemergency surgery and then were admitted to a Post Anesthesia Care Unit.
