This trial compares two safe, common ways to help children relax before surgery: a medicine sprayed in the nose versus a medicine given by mouth. The goal is to see which one works better and is easier for kids.
This study tests a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) given as a nasal spray to help children relax before surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that works well with the least side effects.
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 compares two sedative medicines given as a nasal spray to help children relax and reduce separation anxiety before surgery. It aims to find which medicine works better for children aged 2 to 6.
