Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the incidence of patients who received anesthetic, psychotropic, or antihistamine medications for sedation to manage emergence agitation between extubation and operating room discharge. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome was to identify risk factors for emergence agitation using multivariate logistic regression analysis based on patient characteristics, surgical factors, and anesthetic variables. | — |
