Predicting the Risk of Pediatric Emergence Delirium

The incidence of PED ranges from 2% to 50%, with a peak occurring 5-15 minutes after emergence from anesthesia. PED seriously endangers pediatric patient safety and impairs family experience. Early recognition can guide prophylactic interventions to reduce its incidence. This study aims to develop machine learning models with high accuracy and interpretability for personalized risk prediction, so as to improve perioperative safety and expand the application of artificial intelligence in pediatric anesthesia, thereby yielding substantial clinical and social benefits.
