The Efficacy of Intraoperative EEG to Predict the Occurrence of Emergence Agitation in the Postanesthetic Room After Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Children.

Purpose: Emergence agitation (EA) is common after sevoflurane anesthesia, but there are no definite predictors. This study investigated whether intraoperative electroencephalography (EEG) can indicate the occurrence of EA in children.

Design: A prospective predictive study design was used.
