This Study Evaluated the Safety of Awake Extubation in Children at Risk for Respiratory Events Undergoing General Anesthesia.

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of awake extubation in children at risk for PRAEs undergoing general anesthesia. Specifically, this study seeks to compare the effects of sevoflurane and propofol induction on postoperative (emergence and recovery) respiratory outcomes in these patients. This study aims to provide insights that could enhance anesthesia protocols in pediatric populations with heightened respiratory risks by identifying potential differences in airway-related adverse events between the two agents.
