Registration Number
NCT01878656
Lead Sponsor
Chung-Ang University Hosptial, Chung-Ang University College of Medicine
Brief Summary

Emergence agitation is a major concern in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. The patients may experience the sense of suffocation during emergence due to nasotracheal intubation and orofacial edema. Postoperative pain is also associated with emergence agitation. Although there is a lot of studies about emergence agitation in children, there is a few in adults, furthermore, no data about comparison of emergence agitation between sevoflurane and desflurane anesthesia in adults. Therefore, the investigators would like to compare the incidence and severity of emergence agitation between sevoflurane and desflurane anesthesia in adults after orthognathic surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Incidence of Emergence Agitation Using Four-point Categorical ScaleParticipants will be followed from the time of gas discontinuation in operating room to the time of discharge from postanesthesia care unit(PACU), an expected average of 1 hour.

The outcomes assessor will evaluate the severity of emergence agitation of participants using a four-point categorical scale. (1: calm, 2: not calm, but could be easily calmed, 3: moderately agitated or restless, 4: combative, excited, disoriented) We considered presence of emergence agitation as 3 and 4 of four-point scale.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Time to ExtubationParticipants will be followed from the time of gas discontinuation in operating room to the time of discharge from postanesthesia care unit(PACU), an expected average of 1 hour.

We will evaluate the time from gas discontinuation to extubation. We will conduct an extubation when participants can show responses such as eye opening or nodding one's head to our verbal commands.
