Abstract: Emergence delirium (ED) represents a disturbance in consciousness that can arise when a child regains awareness following general anesthesia. This condition is characterized by symptoms such as disorientation, increased activity levels, and heightened sensitivity during the early postoperative phase. Studies reveal that the combination of ketamine and propofol, or ketofol, is as beneficial as propofol alone in reducing the incidence of emerging delirium in children receiving sevoflurane anaesthesia for a tonsillectomy. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that dexmedetomidine lowers the incidence of post-anesthesia emerging delirium in young children.
