Abstract

Background: Many anesthetic pre-medications are used to relieve this stress response. Of these premedications,
midazolam and dexmedetomidine are effectively used as sedatives. The present study was
planned to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine with intranasal midazolam as a pre-anesthetic
medication in children. Many anaesthetic pre-medications are used to relieve this stress response. Of
these pre-medications, midazolam and dexmedetomidine are effectively used as sedatives. The present
study was planned to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine with intranasal midazolam as a pre-anesthetic
medication in children. Fear of unpleasant and painful procedures, separation from parents and
unwillingness to breathe through an anaesthesia face mask may produce stormy anaesthetic induction in
unpremeditated patients. Because of this premedication should be an integral part of paediatric
anaesthetic practice.
