Randomized Controlled Trial
A Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial Comparing Oral Midazolam, Dexmedetomidine, and Gabapentin on Prophylaxis of Emergence Agitation After Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Adenotonsillectomy.
Sevoflurane causes emergence agitation (EA) in up to 80% of pediatric patients. ⋯ Premedication using oral midazolam, DEX, or gabapentin reduced the incidence of EA, and DEX provided the best sedation and hemodynamics of all.
