Brief Summary

Children tend to anxiety and even fear before survey. And this kind of anxiety will not result in the forced induction of anesthesia, but also may increase the incidence of postoperative agitation in children, even lead to postoperative behavior changes.Currently,Oral midazolam or intranasal dexmedetomidine alone is commonly used as a preoperative regimen, but the clinical effects of each single-use are not satisfactory. In the investigators' study,the researchers conducted the current study to investigate whether dexmedetomidine combined with midazolam can increase the rate of satisfactory anesthesia induction in pediatric patients and achieve better sedative effect.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The degree of cooperation during inhalation anesthesia induction

    Induction Compliance Checklist range from 0 through 10,and lower scores indicate the higher degree of cooperation during inhalation anesthesia induction

    During inhalation anesthesia induction

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Anxiety before induction of anesthesia

    Before preoperative medication

  • The level of sedation

    Each 10 minutes during the preoperative period

  • The onset time of satisfactory sedation

    During the preoperative period

  • Parental separation anxiety scale

    During the preoperative period

  • Recovery times

    Within up to 30 minutes after child's first eye opening in the postoperative period

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
