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 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 medicines, dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, given during sinus surgery to see which one better prevents confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia. If you're having sinus surgery, you might be able to join and help find a better way to recover calmly.
This study tests whether giving two medicines, propofol and dexmedetomidine, during rhinoplasty can help prevent confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia. It may be a good option if you are having nose surgery and are generally healthy.
This trial tests a medicine given as nose drops to help children relax before anesthesia and reduce confusion or agitation after surgery. It may make the anesthesia experience smoother for young children having minor surgeries.
