AbstractThe paper analyzes the publications dedicated to the problem of agitation after inhalation anesthesia with sevofluorane. A brief explanation of the conception "agitation" is given in the context of interpretation of explanatory and psychological dictionaries. According to most of the analyzed papers, it is concluded that the incidence of the postanesthetic agitation syndrome occurs after anesthesia with sevofluorane than after that with halothane. The leading risk factors of agitation are preschool age, significant psychoemotional lability in the preoperative period (difficult parting with parents), fear. The efficiency of the preventive measures given in the analyzed paper is disputable. These include opioids (fentanyl), benzodiazepines (midasolam), clonidine, ketamine, dexmedotomidine, nitrous oxide, propofol, etc. The authors conclude that this problem is of no high significance in the aspect of priority, the width and safety of sevofluorane use in the anesthetic maintenance of children although it by far needs further more detailed study.
