BACKGROUND
The cause of emergence agitation (EA) in children is unknown. Rapid emergence from inhaled anesthesia has been implicated because EA is more common with sevoflurane than with halothane. A dose-dependent effect of sevoflurane, which increases seizure-like electroencephalogram activity, has
Two separate methods of preventing post-ECT emergence agitation are increasing the succinylcholine dose to about 1.1 mg/kg and adding a methohexital bolus of about 0.67 mg/kg immediately at seizure end. These methods can work separately and additively without any expectation of diminishing treatment
Most patients treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) develop cognitive and motor aspects of delirium afterwards. These symptoms are often self-limiting, lasting 10 to 20 minutes. However, about 10% of these patients develop a state characterised by confusion, restlesness, repetitive movements,
In this prospective study, five patients who had repeatedly shown troublesome restless emergence agitation after each of 20 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) with a succinylcholine dose about .7 mg/kg showed no agitation after 15 ECT sessions in which the succinylcholine dose was increased
Agitation during the emergence from general anesthesia is a great post-operative problem that often injures the patients themselves and requires the medical staff to restrain and calm the patients. The predisposing factors for emergence agitation include anesthesia, operation, and patient.
This article provides an overview of pediatric post anesthesia care. It highlights important aspects of care that are frequently encountered in practice or have the potential for being problematic. These include airway management, fluid maintenance, the treatment of seizures, thermoregulation, the
A 22-year-old male patient with autism and epilepsy was scheduled to undergo impacted third molar extractions at an outpatient setting. Oral preanesthetic medication with dexmedetomidine and subsequent midazolam with ketamine was acceptable and effective to place intravenous cannula. General
Sevoflurane has rapidly replaced halothane as the inhaled anesthetic agent of choice for the pediatric population. Benefits of sevoflurane use include a quick induction and emergence from anesthesia, a nonpungent odor, which allows for mask induction, and decreased airway irritation, which results
This article reviews the use of sedatives and narcosis agents, muscle relaxants, and ventilation that are specific to ECT anesthesia rather than surgical anesthesia. Particular focus is given to interference with a seizure by pretreatment sedation and anesthetic narcosis; dosage of succinylcholine
BACKGROUND
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is associated with tachycardia and hypertension.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare two doses of dexmedetomidine, esmolol, and lignocaine with respect to hemodynamics, seizure duration, emergence agitation (EA), and recovery
