RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the risk factors of emergence agitation (EA)in the adult patients during the recovery peri-od after general anesthesia in postanesthesia care unit(PACU).Methods 2 056 adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia in PACU were selected,aged more than 18 years old,sex unlimited The following factors of age,gender,body mass,ASA grade,preoperative combined disease,education level,premedicatiou,general anesthesia mode,midazolam use for induc-tion,anesthesia time,operation site,operation mode,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluid replacement,re-covery time in PACU,body temperature,urinary catheter,urine volume,etc.were recorded.According to whether EA occurring during recovery from general anesthesia,the patients were divided into the quiet group and the EA group.The multivariate Logistic regression was performed to analyze and screen the risk factors for the occurrence of EA.Results 127 cases developed EA during recovery from anesthesia.The occurrence rate of EA was 6.18%.The Logistic regression analysis indicated that high grade ASA, large quantity of intraoperative fluid replacement,placing urinary catheter and postoperative pain were the risk factors for EA(P <0.05).Conclusion Highgrade ASA,large quantity of intraoperative fluid replacement,placing urinary catheter and postoperative pain are the risk factors for EA during the recovery period after general anesthesia in PACU.
