Brief Summary
Postoperative agitation is frequently observed in the pediatric patient group following general anesthesia. The exact cause of this agitation has not been clearly determined; however, it may be associated with various factors such as anesthesia depth, family approach, postoperative pain, or unpleasant odors perceived by the child. The depth of anesthesia is indirectly monitored by observing the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, as well as by assessing the alveolar concentration of the inhalation agent. Patients under anesthesia are in a state of deep sleep. In recent years, this sleep state has begun to be monitored more closely with the development of new devices. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a test that records and measures the brain's electrical activity, providing information about the depth of sleep according to the patient's brain activity. The Density Spectral Array (DSA) device, developed for use in operating rooms, facilitates the interpretation of EEG data and guides the anesthesiologist. In our operating room, patients under anesthesia are also monitored using this device. Our aim is to evaluate emergence agitation in patients monitored with this device compared to those who are not monitored.
