NCT05766436

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between the effect of nebulized dexmedetomidine and the effect of oral dispensable film (ODF) melatonin in controlling perioperative anxiety and post operative emergence agitation and their effect on the overall surgical experience.in pediatric patients undergoing day case surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • perioperative anxiety

    perioperative anxiety will be measured by using Parental separation anxiety scale (PSAS) will be calculated according to the following: * Behavior of the child during separation from parents will be Excellent if the Patient unafraid, cooperative, or asleep will be given the score of (1) * Behavior of the child during separation from parents will be Good if the patient is Slightly afraid/crying, quiet with reassurance will be given the score (2) * Behavior of the child during separation from parents will be Fair if the patient is Moderately afraid and crying not quit with reassurance with the score (3) * Behavior of the child during separation from parents will be poor if the patient is Crying, need for restraint with the score (4) the score of (1) means excellent response , score of (2) means good response , score of (3) means fair response and score of (4) means poor response

    during the patient separation from the caregiver just as the child is going to the operating theater

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • mask acceptance

    during the mask introduction to start inhalational induction of anesthesia with sevoflurane before skin incision

  • post anesthesia emergence agitation

    first 15 minutes after admission to post- anesthesia care unit

  • pain score

    during hospital stay up to 3 hours

Study Arms (3)

group D

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

will receive placebo ODF and nebulized dexmedetomidine (Precedex™ rxlist)

Drug: Dexmedetomidine

group M

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

will receive placebo nebulizer and ODF melatonin (metacyst ™ nerhadou)

Drug: Melatonin

group C

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

will receive placebo ODF and placebo 0.9% normal saline nebulizer

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

receive placebo ODF and 3 µ/kg nebulized dexmedetomidine (Precedex™ rxlist) prepared in 0.9% normal saline to a final volume of 3ml. Nebulization was performed using a wall nebulizer and wall oxygen source on 4 l/min.

Also known as: metacyst ™ nerhadou
group M

placebo ODF and 0.9% normal saline nebulizer

Also known as: normal saline
group C
