Delayed Emergence from Anesthesia

Subscribe to New Research on Delayed Emergence from Anesthesia

Abnormally slow pace of regaining CONSCIOUSNESS after general anesthesia (ANESTHESIA, GENERAL) usually given during surgical procedures. This condition is characterized by persistent somnolence.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Delayed Emergence from Anesthesia:

1.	Flumazenil (Romazicon)FDA LinkGeneric 04/01/2013 - "From experience of this case, administration of flumazenil may be beneficial for improvement in consciousness in cases with unexpectedly delayed emergence from anesthesia." 12/01/2010 - "The administration of naloxone hydrochloride and flumazenil failed to improve delayed recovery from anesthesia. "
2.	Propofol (Diprivan)FDA LinkGeneric 02/01/2001 - "Although the clearance of propofol was high (2.8 l.min-1) because of the thyrotoxic state, the patient showed delayed recovery from anesthesia. "
3.	Fentanyl (Sublimaze)FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/2012 - "Epidurally administered fentanyl must have been the cause of delayed recovery from anesthesia. " 01/01/2012 - "[Epidural fentanyl delayed emergence from anesthesia]." 08/01/2007 - "Patients anesthetized with nitrous oxide-sevoflurane-fentanyl did not perform smoothly in the wake-up test because of restless or delayed emergence from anesthesia, and two of them experienced intraoperative awareness. "
4.	Lithium Carbonate (Eskalith)FDA LinkGeneric 10/01/1982 - "Reports of delayed recovery from anesthesia by patients concurrently receiving lithium carbonate and a neuromuscular blocker have been followed by a recommendation to avoid such a combination and, hence, concurrent treatment with lithium and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). "
5.	Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)IBA 08/01/2007 - "Patients anesthetized with nitrous oxide-sevoflurane-fentanyl did not perform smoothly in the wake-up test because of restless or delayed emergence from anesthesia, and two of them experienced intraoperative awareness. "
6.	Neostigmine (Neostigmine Bromide)IBA 03/01/1999 - "However, high incidences of side effects and delayed recovery from anesthesia with the addition of 6.25 to 50 microg neostigmine may limit the clinical use of these doses for outpatient spinal anesthesia."
7.	Naloxone (Narcan)FDA LinkGeneric 12/01/2010 - "The administration of naloxone hydrochloride and flumazenil failed to improve delayed recovery from anesthesia. "
8.	MagnesiumIBA 03/01/1991 - "Magnesium sulphate in high doses has major drawbacks, however, among which are enhanced neuromuscular blockade and delayed return of consciousness. "
9.	LithiumIBA 10/01/1982 - "Reports of delayed recovery from anesthesia by patients concurrently receiving lithium carbonate and a neuromuscular blocker have been followed by a recommendation to avoid such a combination and, hence, concurrent treatment with lithium and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). "
10.	Ketamine FDA LinkGeneric 09/01/1972 - "To the editor: ketamine may interact with barbiturate premedication in producing delayed awakening from anesthesia and significant respiratory depression."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Anesthesia 11/01/1956 - "However, the muscular relaxation afforded by Fluoromar is not complete, and delayed recovery from anesthesia may follow attempts to produce relaxation by deepening too greatly the level of anesthesia. " 02/01/2012 - "A patient with therapeutic anticoagulant developed PRES immediately after emergence from anesthesia, in which her status was initially recognized as delayed recovery from anesthesia with transient hypertension because an emergent head computed tomography (CT) scan was almost normal. " 12/01/1995 - "Therefore, epidural eptazocine may make it possible to use lower doses of anesthesia in TIVA, thus reducing the adverse effects associated with TIVA such as hypertension during surgery, intraoperative awareness, postanesthetic respiratory depression, delayed recovery from anesthesia, and neurological signs after anesthesia. "
2.	Craniotomy 10/01/2013 - "Anesthesiologists should be aware of CVST as a cause of delayed emergence from anesthesia after craniotomy." 01/01/2006 - "Delayed emergence from anesthesia associated with absent brainstem reflexes following suboccipital craniotomy."
3.	Deep Brain Stimulation 07/01/2010 - "We aimed to identify the incidence, duration and causes of delayed emergence from anesthesia in patients with dystonia undergoing surgery for deep brain stimulation (DBS) placement. "
4.	Premedication 09/01/1972 - "To the editor: ketamine may interact with barbiturate premedication in producing delayed awakening from anesthesia and significant respiratory depression."
5.	Medication Errors (Medication Error) 03/01/2014 - "Untoward sequelae resulted in 44% of the patients that were affected by these medication errors and these ranged from cardiac arrest to delayed recovery from anesthesia. "
