Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the incidence and characteristics of Emergence Delirium (ED) in children aged 0 - 13 undergoing general anesthesia and being taken care of at the paediatric PACU of the Charité Campus Virchow-Clinic. Therefore the "Paediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale" (PAED) is used. In order to measure the patient's pain level, age-appropriate pain scales (CHIPPS or FPS-R) are applied. Risk factors for the occurrence of ED are to be determined and therapeutic approaches in case of an occurring ED are to be evaluated. Finally the future implementation of ED-monitoring in the PACU is to be prepared.
