Clinical Trial Summary

Pre-operative anxiety is a major problem in children because it produces undesired results on induction and postoperative outcome. Dexmedetomidine is a highly specific alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist. Studies suggest that Dexmetomidine administration is safe as it is less invasive and have a short half-life. Paracetamol is a potent physical pain killer. It also reduces psychological reactivity and blunts physical and social pain. Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed in pediatric age groups, so it is important to reduce pre-operative anxiety in those children.


Clinical Trial Description

Pre-operative anxiety is a major problem in children because it produces undesired results on induction and postoperative outcome. Dexmedetomidine is a highly specific alpha 2 adrenergic receptor agonist. Studies suggest that Dexmetomidine administration is safe as it is less invasive and have a short half-life. Paracetamol is a potent physical pain killer. It also reduces psychological reactivity and blunts physical and social pain. Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed in pediatric age groups, so it is important to reduce pre-operative anxiety in those children. The objective of this descriptive study is to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine and paracetamol premedication, measuring the degree of anxiety in the children prepared for adenotonsillectomy when they are separated from their parents. ;
