Emergence agitation (EA) is a behavioural disturbance encountered during the recovery phase of patients following general anaesthesia. It is characterised by restlessness, involuntary limb movements, and drainage tube withdrawal and may significantly harm patients and medical staff. The mechanism of EA has not been fully understood and is still a challenging subject for researchers.
