Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • incidence of emergence agitation after sevoflurane anaesthesia

    The aim of this study is to prevent 80% of emergence agitation of pediatric undergoing ENT surgeries using sevoflurane as inhalational anaesthesia . low dose nalbuphine versus dexmedetomidine

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

Nalbuphine group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

We will give the patient before extubation by15 minute nalbuphine with dose 0.1 mg /kg and we will assess the emergence agitation by delirium score every 15 minutes for half an hour

Drug: we will give the patient 0.1 mg nalbuphine 15 min before the end of the procedure

Dexmedetomidine group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

We will give the patient before extubation by 15 minute nalbuphine with dose 0.5 mic /kg and we will assess the emergence agitation by delirium score every 15 minutes for half an hour

Drug: we will give the patient 0.5 mg dexmedetomidine 15 min before the end of the procedure

Interventions

The study medications will be prepared by the local pharmacy as 10 ml syringes of nalbuphine IV that will be handled to the anesthesiologist in charge in OR room who will be blinded to the nature of the medications used, and study medications will be given 15 minutes before the end of surgical procedure and it will be given slowly for five minutes. . After extubation, patients will be taken to postanesthetic care unit . on arrival vital data will be measured. The anesthesiologist following up the patient will be blinded to the groups. The time of extubation will be defined as zero and after 15 minutes will be defined as one . Assessment of agitation will be done at time zero and time 1 and every fifteen minutes for 30 minutes using paediatric anaesthesia Emergence delirium scale (PAEDS)
