title: Excitation phenomena during sevoflurane anaesthesia in children.
abstract: The advantages of rapid induction of and emergence from sevoflurane anaesthesia may be more than offset by the frequent occurrence of agitation during induction and recovery, and a possible epileptogenic effect. The mechanisms and possible strategies to prevent these drawbacks are reviewed, on the basis of the most recent literature.
