Emergency Agitation in T&A
Emergency Agitation in T&A
Sevoflurane has been used commonly in pediatric anesthesia since 1990. However, it has caused
 more emergency agitation (EA) that other inhalation agents and the incidence is up to 80%.
 Therefore, lower minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane will reduce the EA when it is
 used with remifentanil in pediatric general anesthesia.
