Comparison of Emergence Agitation from Sevoflurane Anesthesia after Thiopental Sodium, Propofol or Ketamine Induction in Pediatric Inguinal Herniorrhaphy
Abstract:Background: This study compared the incidence of emergence agitation and the recovery profile from sevoflurane anesthesia after thiopental sodium, propofol or ketamine induction in pediatric inguinal herniorrhaphy.Methods: Forty eight children aged 1-7 years undergoing high ligation due to an inguinal hernia were examined.
