'The frequency of behaviour disturbances after different concentration of anaesthetic gases (Sevoflurane) for anaesthesia during M.R.I. examination in children.

Conditions
Emergence delirium (ED) is described as a mental disorder during recovery from general anaesthesia. After the introduction of new inhalation anaesthetics such as Sevoflurane, this phenomenon again gained prominence. The specific cause is unknown. Anaesthesia, surgery and patient related factors are part of the possible explanations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary endpoints are the maximum scores on the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) until 1 hour after having stopped the administration of the anaesthetic. We consider a score of >12 on the PAED scale as cut-off for the presence or absence of ED.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. The secondary endpoints are the time between terminating the administration and the removal of the laryngeal mask airway and the time of reaction (responsiveness) to light or gentle tactile stimulation;<br /><br>2. Are parents and childrens anxiety at induction, as well as their behaviour, a predictive value for the appearance of ED?
