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
