Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients who underwent general anesthesia at our institution between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2025, and met the following inclusion criteria: (1) Patients aged 20 years or older at the time of anesthesia. (2) Patients who underwent airway management with tracheal intubation or a supraglottic airway device.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) Patients who returned to the ward without extubation after surgery. (2) Patients who received continuous administration of sedative agents before extubation. (3) Patients who required re-establishment of the airway in the operating room after extubation. (4) Patients who had an established airway at the time of entry into the operating room. (5) Patients deemed inappropriate for inclusion in the study by the principal investigator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime 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

MeasureTime 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.
