Overview
Brief Summary
Emergence delirium is a significant problem, particularly in children. However the incidence, preventative strategies, and management of emergence delirium remain unclear. Multichannel electroencephalogram is a recognized tool for identifying neurophysiologic states during anesthesia, sleep, and arousal. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the mechanisms and predictors of emergence delirium in children under 16 years scheduled for elective surgery using electroencephalogram. The "Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scores (PAED Score)" (Sikich et al. 2004) is used to screen for the occurrence of emergence delirium in the post anesthesia care unit.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Incidence of emergence delirium
Time Frame: Recovery from anesthetic until discharge of the child from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, an average of 1 hour
The Delirium is measured by the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scores (PAED Score) (Sikich et al. 2004).The PAED scale is a validated observational measure of 5 aspects of child behavior (caregiver eye contact, purposeful movement, evidence of awareness of surroundings, restlessness, and inconsolability). Ratings are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 20; greater scores indicate greater severity. A peak PAED value ≥ 10 is considered emergence delirium.
Secondary Outcomes
- Type of surgery(During the operation)
- Relative power of each brain waves(from stay at the preoperative holding room to discharge of the child from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, , an average of 3 hours)

- Body temperature(During the operation, an average of 1 hour)
- Duration of anesthesia(During the anesthesia, an average of 1 hour)
- Blood pressure(During the operation, an average of 1 hour)
- Heart rate(During the operation, an average of 1 hour)
- Duration of surgery(During the operation, an average of 1 hour)
- Number of Participants with postoperative organ complications(Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 5 days.)

- Postoperative pain: FLACC- Scale(Recovery from anesthetic until discharge of the child from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, an average of 1 hour)
- Severity of emergence Delirium(Recovery from anesthetic until discharge of the child from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, an average of 1 hour)
- Duration of emergence Delirium(Recovery from anesthetic until discharge of the child from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, an average of 1 hour)
- The level of consciousness(Recovery from anesthetic until discharge of the child from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, an average of 1 hour)
- Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) stay time(During the stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, an average of 1 hour)
