Comparing incidence of emergence delirium between sevoflurane and desflurane in children following routine otolaryngology procedures.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the use of desflurane for maintenance of anesthesia did not significantly affect the incidence or duration of ED when compared to sevoflurane. However, desflurane did not demonstrate any increase in adverse events, which may support its' routine use in this patient population. PMID: 27901329 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
