Brief summary:
Compare the effects of intravenous midazolam and ketamine on emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia

Detailed description:
Emergence agitation is self-limiting aggressive behavior that develops in the early period of awakening from anesthesia. A high level of preoperative anxiety is a risk factor for emergence agitation using Aono's four-point scale. Midazolam and ketamine was administered to the patients to decrease of preoperative anxiety. We aimed to compare the emergence agitation between midazolam group and ketamine group.

Arms:

Interventions: intervention 1: Midazolam intervention 2: Ketamine
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: preoperatively injected intravenous 0.1 mg/kg midazolam intervention 2: Preoperatively injected intravenous 1mg/kg ketamine
