In children [edit]
The pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium scale may be used to measure the severity of this condition in children.[1]
Epidemiology [edit]
The overall incidence of emergence delirium is 5.3%, with a significantly greater incidence (12-13%) in children. The incidence of emergence delirium after halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane or desflurane ranges from 2-55%.[2]
