About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of lollipop administration after surgery in reducing emergence agitation in pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia with sevoflurane at RS Ngoerah.
Read full original descriptionShow less
Emergence agitation is a common condition in children after general anesthesia, characterized by restlessness, confusion, and distress during recovery. This study investigates whether providing a lollipop as a simple, non-pharmacological intervention can help reduce the incidence and severity of agitation.
Pediatric patients undergoing surgery with sevoflurane anesthesia will be observed postoperatively, and their level of agitation will be assessed using standardized evaluation methods. The results of this study are expected to provide a safe, practical, and easily applicable approach to improve postoperative recovery in children.
