This study compares two medicines (Ketofol and dexmedetomidine) to see which better prevents confusion and agitation when children wake up from squint eye surgery. The goal is to find a safer, more comfortable recovery for your child.
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 trial looks at confusion or “delirium” after anesthesia in babies and young children having a myringotomy (ear procedure). It may help doctors understand which children are more likely to experience delirium and how to reduce that risk.
This study compares two medications given during surgery recovery to help young children wake up calmly and without distress. The goal is to find the gentlest way to help kids feel comfortable as they wake from anesthesia.
