What are the Treatment Options for Emergence Delirium?
Management of emergence delirium often includes both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions:
Pharmacologic: Medications such as midazolam, dexmedetomidine, and propofol may be used to reduce agitation and improve recovery. Non-Pharmacologic: Providing a calm and quiet environment, parental presence, comforting the child, and minimizing sensory overload can be beneficial.
