Hydromorphone reduced the incidence of emergence agitation after adenotonsillectomy in children with obstructive sleep apnea: A randomized, double-blind study

Emergence agitation (EA) after (adeno)tonsillectomy (AT) surgery impairs recovery in children. Adequate analgesia plays a crucial role in reducing EA incidence. This study investigated whether hydromorphone infusion (30 μg/kg) during anesthesia induction could reduce EA following AT surgery for obst...

Summary:Emergence agitation (EA) after (adeno)tonsillectomy (AT) surgery impairs recovery in children. Adequate analgesia plays a crucial role in reducing EA incidence. This study investigated whether hydromorphone infusion (30 μg/kg) during anesthesia induction could reduce EA following AT surgery for obstructive sleep apnea in children.
