About this trial

Emergence delirium is a common complication in pediatrics undergoing neurosurgery. Previous study showed that a single bolus of remimazolam was associated with lower incidence of postoperative agitation. Present study was designed to investigate if remimazolam supplemented to sevoflurane anesthesia could decrease the risk of emergence delirium in pediatrics undergoing neurosurgery.
