Effectiveness and Safety of 6% Versus 8% Sevoflurane for Anesthesia Induction in Pediatric Ophthalmic Minor Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of 6% versus 8% sevoflurane inhalation induction in pediatric patients undergoing minor ophthalmic surgery. The primary outcome is emergence agitation assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale. Secondary outcomes include hemodynamic parameters, induction time, recovery time, and adverse events.
