About this study

Official title: Comparison of Effects of Intravenous Midazolam and Ketamine on Emergence Agitation : a Randomized Controlled Trial

Compare the effects of intravenous midazolam and ketamine on emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia

Read the detailed description

Emergence agitation is self-limiting aggressive behavior that develops in the early period of awakening from anesthesia. A high level of preoperative anxiety is a risk factor for emergence agitation using Aono's four-point scale. Midazolam and ketamine was administered to the patients to decrease of preoperative anxiety. We aimed to compare the emergence agitation between midazolam group and ketamine group.
