Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome is the incidence of emergence agitation evaluated using a specific assessment tool. We followed the definitions of the incidence of emergency agitation to the criteria established in each study. When emergence agitation was classified according to severity or points, we extract the data from the severe category. When emergence agitation was evaluated at several time points, we extract the data evaluated immediately after emergence (e.g. data evaluated on the PACU or in the recovery room) in order to extract the data that represented acute emergence agitation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary outcomes are the absolute value of the emergence agitation score evaluated using a specific assessment tool score, and the pain score evaluated using a specific assessment tool score. Incidence of adverse events such as nausea and vomiting, delayed awakening (Time to extubation, PACU stay duration) are also analyzed.
