Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this prospective study was to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine, oral clonidine & oral midazolam as premedicating agent on children undergoing surgeries under general anaesthesia. This study was conducted on 96 patients of ASA grade 1 & 2 of either sex between 2-12 years age undergoing routine surgeries. Patients are randomly allocated in 3 groups-M,C and D on basis of premedication given and were assessed on the basis of Preoperative degree of sedation and change in behavior, separation anxiety, effect of emergence agitation after surgery & adverse effects. Sedation status at parental separation of children from group D were signicantly different from group C & M. Emergence agitation scores of children from group C & D were signicantly different from group M. Children between 2-5yr age showed statistically signicant reduction in emergence agitation in group D. No statistically signicant difference groupwise regarding ease in separation of child from parents & post operative nausea vomiting (PONV) among 3 groups. So to conclude sedation and attenuation in emergence agitation was best with dexmedetomidine followed by clonidine and least with midazolam.
