Full description
As a common problem observed in pediatric patients after sevoflurane anesthesia, emergence agitations are investigated mainly in children.For adults,previous studies were almost about the efficacy of premedication on preventing emergence agitation. Once emergence agitation happens, there is still no guidelines established to recommend the medication usage in the post-anaesthesia care unit.So high-quality prospective clinical studies are required to provide evidence for emergence agitation treatment.
Dexmedetomidine and propofol are both widely used in general anesthesia and can be acquired easily.When emergence agitation occurs,both injections are common choices in daily clinical administration on emergence agitation.To the investigator's knowledge ,propofol with a very quick onset is superior for anesthesia goals, but is without analgesia effects.While dexmedetomidine can produce sedation,analgesia,anxiolysis.So the investigators propose the hypothesis here that dexmedetomidine is prior to propofol on the treatment of emergence agitation in adults patients after general anesthesia.Therefore this research is undertaken to verify the hypothesis.
