Turkish Version of The Pediatric Anesthesia Emergency Delirium

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

The observational study: This study is being conducted to create a Turkish version of the English version of the PAED scale, which did not exist before, and to determine its cultural suitability.

Study summary

Emergence delirium (ED) is a mental disorder seen in children during recovery from general anesthesia. The Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale is the only valid scale to assess ED in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia. The aim of this study is to translate and adapt the PAED scale to Turkish.

A five-stage translation and adaptation process will be performed. The reliability of the Turkish version of the PAED scale was independently assessed by a group of two raters (anesthesiologists or postanesthesia care unit nurses) in pediatric patients after general anesthesia. ED was defined by a cut-off point of ≥ 10 points on the PAED scale
