Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to detect the efficacy of intranasal dexmedetomidine as a premedication to general anesthesia in pediatric patients with respiratory comorbidities undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dexmedetomidine Adenotonsillectomy Respiratory Tract Infections Drug: Dexmedetomidine group Other: control group Phase 4

Detailed Description:

Respiratory comorbidities are associated with an increased incidence of peri-operative respiratory adverse effects (PRAE).

Upper and lower respiratory infections, as well as asthma, are common in children who are scheduled for adenotonsillectomy. When compared to healthy children, children with respiratory ailments have a three-fold increase in PRAEs.

Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The incidence of peri-operative respiratory adverse effects (PRAE). [ Time Frame: From induction to emergence from general anesthesia. ]
    All PRAE and the time of occurrence (induction, maintenance or emergence) will be recorded.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Sedating effects of this drug. [ Time Frame: 15 and 30 min after sedation ]
    The sedating effects will be measure using Ramsay sedation scale from 1 to 6 as 1 meaning anxious and agitated, restless, or both. and 6 meaning Unresponsive.

  2. Ease of parental separation. [ Time Frame: 15 and 30 min after sedation ]
    Evaluated using a four-point scale. from 1 to 4 as 1 meaning excellent and 4 for poor

  3. Face mask acceptance. [ Time Frame: 15 and 30 min after sedation ]
    Evaluated using a four-point scale. from 1 to 4 as 1 meaning excellent and 4 for poor

  4. Hemodynamic stability [ Time Frame: 15 and 30 min after sedation ]
    hypertension, tachycardia, bradycardia
