Agitation in Participants With Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type

Participants with agitation secondary to dementia of the Alzheimer's type. The diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) will be based on the "2011 Diagnostic Guidelines for Alzheimer's Disease" issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA)-Alzheimer's Association (AA) workgroups.

Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Emergence Agitation in Children With or Without Tube Insertion Under...

Myringotomy

The investigators are inviting your child to participate in this research study because your child is having myringotomy (putting a tiny incision in the eardrum with or without tube insertion) under general anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single injection of Dexmedetomidine (study medication) decreases the frequency of awaking from anesthesia frightened or agitated in children having myringotomy surgery as compared to those children who receive placebo (sterile saltwater).

Reducing Ketamine-Induced Agitation, by Midazolam or Haloperidol Premedication After Adult Procedural...

Ketamine Induced Agitation

Ketamine is the cornerstone of procedural sedation in emergency department but ketamine induced agitation has limited its usage by many physicians. As a solution, some propose using midazolam or haloperidol before ketamine injection. In this randomized double blind clinical trial, patients who are eligible for sedation by ketamine are allocated in 3 groups. In first group, the patients will receive 0.05 mg/kg midazolam, in second group 5 mg of haloperidol and in 3rd group a placebo five minutes before receiving the sedative dose of ketamine (1 mg/kg). The patients are assessed for agitation during and after the procedure the clinician's satisfaction with sedation instrument is evaluated after the procedure.

Can Acetaminophen Given 1-2 Hours to Children Before Ear Tube Surgery Reduce Agitation After Anesthesia?...

Emergence AgitationPain

Emergence agitation (EA) occurs in up to 67% of pediatric patients after anesthesia for bilateral myringotomy tubes (BMT, "ear tubes"). The goal of this study is to find out whether acetaminophen given well before surgery can decrease pain and therefore, decrease emergence agitation better than acetaminophen given shortly before or during surgery. EA can be dangerous for the patient because it may be hard to monitor their vital signs during an important phase of recovery, they may injure themselves, may require the presence of extra staff, and it can be very distressing to the parents. Causes of EA are not well understood, but it can be worsened by pain. 70% of patients undergoing BMT experience pain that needs treatment. Intranasal fentanyl, a strong analgesic, has been shown to decrease EA, but often ends up in dose-dependent nausea and vomiting. In previous studies and in common practice, acetaminophen is given either 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia or immediately after induction. The peak analgesic effect of acetaminophen is 60-120 minutes. Since the procedure is generally completed in 5-10 minutes, the therapeutic effect of acetaminophen may not be present upon emergence from anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to find out if acetaminophen given 60-120 minutes prior to emergence can decrease EA in patients undergoing BMT. Patients would be randomized to one of three groups: Control will receive acetaminophen rectally while under anesthesia (standard practice), Group 1 will receive acetaminophen 10 mg/kg at 60-120 minutes prior to surgery, Group 2 will receive acetaminophen 20 mg/kg at 60-120 minutes prior to surgery. All groups would also receive a dose of intranasal fentanyl during the surgery, which is standard practice. Patients would be observed in the recovery room at various time points for evidence of EA and pain.

The Effect of Low Flow Anesthesia on Postoperative Emergence Agitation in Rhinoplasty

Emergence AgitationAnesthetics1 more

Emergence agitation, defined as restlessness, disorientation, arousal, and/or inconsolable crying, is a common phenomenon seen in the early phase of recovery from general anesthesia; this may cause respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting, as well as an increase in blood pressure, heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption. Although its pathogenesis remains unclear, ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgical procedures have been reported to have a higher incidence of agitation in both adults and children. In recent years, low-flow inhalation anesthesia has been widely used in adult anesthesia practice. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of low flow anesthesia and normal flow anesthesia on emergence agitation.

Effect of Remimazolam vs Sevoflurane Anesthesia on Incidence of Emergence Agitation and Complications...

Emergence AgitationRemimazolam4 more

As a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepines drugs, Remimazolam has been accepted for induction and maintenance of clinical anesthesia. Compared to the traditional benzodiazepines drugs, Remimazolam combines the safety of midazolam with the effectiveness of propofol, and also has the advantages of acting quickly, short half-life, no injection pain, slight respiratory depression, independent of liver and kidney metabolism, long-term infusion without accumulation, and has a specific antagonist: flumazenil. This study aims to investigate whether Remimazolam reduces the incidence of emergence agitation in children after ophthalmic surgery, compared to sevoflurane (RCT).

Efficacy of External Nasal Nerve Block in Prevention of Postoperative Agitation Following Nasal...

Agitation States as Acute Reaction to Gross Stress

Emergence agitation following general anaesthesia may lead to serious complications like self-extubation or removal of catheters, which can lead to hypoxia, aspiration pneumonia, bleeding or reoperation. Nose surgery is associated with a higher incidence of emergence agitation. The investigators planned to evaluate the efficacy of external nasal nerve block in prevention of postoperative agitation following external nasal surgeries under general anesthesia(GA).

Prophylaxis Against Metoclopramide-Induced Akathisia

Akathisia

ABSTRACT Study Objective: To compare the effects of midazolam and diphenhydramine for the prevention of metoclopramide induced akathisia. Methods: This randomized, double-blind and controlled trial aimed to investigate co-administered midazolam versus diphenhydramine in the prophylaxis of metoclopramide induced akathisia. Patients 18 through 65 years of age who presented to the ED with primary or secondary complaints of nausea and/or moderate to severe vascular type headache were eligible for this study. Patients were randomized to one of the fallowing three groups: (1) metoclopramide 10 mg + midazolam 1.5 mg (2) metoclopramide 10 mg + diphenhydramine 20 mg (3) metoclopramide 10 mg + placebo. Metoclopramide was administered as a 2 minutes bolus infusion. Midazolam, diphenhydramine and normal saline solution administered as a 15 minutes slow infusion. Whole procedure was observed, akathisia and sedation scores and vital changes were recorded.
