Summary
Emergence agitation following general anaesthesia may lead to serious complications like
self-extubation or removal of catheters, which can lead to hypoxia, aspiration pneumonia,
bleeding or reoperation. Nose surgery is associated with a higher incidence of emergence
agitation. The investigators planned to evaluate the efficacy of external nasal nerve block
in prevention of postoperative agitation following external nasal surgeries under general
anesthesia(GA).
