Negative Behaviour Change Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomised Controlled Pilot Study: Does Intraoperative Clonidine Reduce the Incidence of Post-hospitalisation Negative Behaviour Changes in Children Who Are Distressed During the Induction of General Anaesthesia?
Children who are upset during induction of general anaesthesia are frequently distressed
postoperatively and are more likely to demonstrate negative behaviour changes.
This pilot study is a randomised controlled study of clonidine vs placebo during anaesthesia
to identify whether postoperative behavioural disturbance may be minimised.
