The scores on the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) scale during 20 minutes postoperative and parallel to this the item score on the Additional Structured Behavior Observation (ASBO)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> Postoperative pain scores concerning the child:<br> 1. Just after waking up from anesthesia together with emergence delirium observations (four time points during 20 min every 5 min) an additional pain observation is done by using an observational pain measuring tool (FLACCnurse). When leaving the Post Operative Care Unit (PACU) two additional pain measurements are done again using a FLACCnurse scale (T1: 1 hour after leaving the PACU and T2: 2 hours after leaving the PACU).<br> 2. Also at these same time points the parents are asked to assess their child?s pain by using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).<br> 3. If the child is older than 6 years of age the child is asked to assess its pain by itself using a Faces Pain Scale ? revised (FPS-R) (same time points as the parental assessment).<br><br> Taking note of:<br> 1. The total intake of analgesics<br> 2. Postoperative nausea and vomiting<br>
