Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for emergence delirium (ED) in children aged 2 to 7 years undergoing anesthesia for MRI, noting that ED is a concern during recovery.
- Researchers used specific behavioral and anxiety assessment tools, finding that 16.9% of the 136 children studied experienced ED, with a notable association to shorter arousal time post-anesthesia.
- Findings suggest that further interdisciplinary research is needed to identify pre-procedural predictors and develop targeted interventions to reduce the occurrence of ED in pediatric patients.
