Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of subjects with emergence delirium | Within 1 hour after dropped off by anesthesiology team | Total number of subjects with a Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) score of \> 10. The PAED scale consists of 5 criteria that are scored using a 5-point scale. The scores of each criterion are added to make a total score. The maximum achievable total score is 20. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) length of stay | Post-procedural (0-4 hours after anesthesiology drop off) | Number of hours spent in PACU during recovery |
