The aim of this study is using intranasal dexmedetomidine versus intranasal midazolam-ketamine combination for premedication and preventing the oculocardiac reflex of pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery.

Clinical Details

Official title: Intranasal Dexmedetomidine Versus Intranasal Midazolam-ketamine Combination for Premedication of Pediatric Patients Undergoing Strabismus Surgery

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Primary outcome: the efficacy of premedication on ramsey sedation score

Secondary outcome:

the effects of premedication on oculocardiac reflex

mask acceptance scale

the parenteral separation anxiety scale

Detailed description: Preanesthetic medication in pediatrics is very helpful in relieving anxiety, fear and psychological trauma due to maternal deprivation. Midazolam and ketamine are commonly used

for this purpose. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2 - agonist with a more selective action on the

alpha 2 adrenoreceptor when administered via the nasal mucosa bioavailability of dexmedetomidine is too high. Intranasal route is an effective way to administer premedication and sedation to children. The oculocardiac reflex is a major complication of pediatric strabismus surgery.
