Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of 6% versus 8% sevoflurane inhalation induction in pediatric patients undergoing minor ophthalmic surgery. The primary outcome is emergence agitation assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale. Secondary outcomes include hemodynamic parameters, induction time, recovery time, and adverse events.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
PAED score
Measured using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale. The PAED scale ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating more severe emergence delirium (worse outcome).
Within 30 minutes after recovery
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Induction time
Immediately after anesthesia induction
Recovery time
Immediately after anesthesia discontinuation
Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)
Perioperatively

Sevoflurane 8% Group
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants received 8% sevoflurane inhalation for anesthesia induction via face mask.
Sevoflurane 6% Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received 6% sevoflurane inhalation for anesthesia induction via face mask.
Interventions
Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia was used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in pediatric patients undergoing minor ophthalmic surgery.
