This trial compares two combinations of sedative medicines (dexmedetomidine with midazolam versus ketamine with midazolam) to see which better prevents confusion or agitation when a child wakes up after a heart catheterization procedure. It may help your child recover more calmly.
This study tests whether a medication given through the nose (dexmedetomidine) can help children stay calmer when waking up from eye-muscle surgery. Some children get very agitated or upset when coming out of anesthesia, and this medication might help prevent that.
This study tests two different sedation medicine combinations to see which one reduces confusion and agitation (called delirium) when children with burn injuries need procedures done. The goal is to find the safest, most comfortable option for your child during treatment.
This study tests two different doses of the sedative midazolam, along with another medicine called dexmedetomidine, to help children relax before surgery. It aims to find the safest and most effective dose for kids having short, planned procedures.
This study tests whether giving children either oral melatonin or a nebulized sedative (dexmedetomidine) before surgery can reduce confusion and restlessness (emergence agitation) when they wake up from anesthesia. It may help children recover more calmly after adenotonsillectomy.
This study tests two different sedative medications (ketofol and ketodex) to see which one better prevents postoperative delirium—a type of confusion that can happen after surgery—in older adults undergoing cancer surgery. The goal is to find the safest, most effective option for elderly patients.
