ED occurrence and levels in paediatric patients between individual cartoon video group and control group

Individual cartoon video (n=40) Control
(n=40)
P value
ED* 0.302
 T3 (n (%)) 22(55) 31 (77.5)
 T4 (n (%)) 13 (32.5) 22 (55)
 T5 (n (%)) 9 (22.5) 10 (25)
 T6 (n (%)) 6 (15) 5 (12.5)
Peak_PAED† 12.00 (9.00–13.00) 13.50 (10.00–15.00) 0.016‡

Data are presented as frequency (percentage) or median (25th percentile to 75th percentile) as appropriate.

T3, immediately after extubation.

T4, arriving in the PACU.

T5, 30 min after arriving in the PACU.

T6, leaving the PACU.

Peak_PAED refers to the highest score of PAED in the four time points of T3, T4, T5 and T6.

PAED ≥10 is considered as the occurrence of ED.

Ptime<0.001, Pgroup=0.142, Pinteraction=0.302.

*GLMM with logistic link was adjusted for age, gender, surgery type and length of surgery and anaesthesia.

†Mann-Whitney U test.

‡P<0.05 versus the control group.

§P<0.05 is significant in GLMM with logistic link.

ED, emergence delirium; GLMM, generalised linear mixed model; PACU, post anaesthesia care unit; PAED, Paediatric Anaesthesia Emergence Delirium.
