Brief Summary   One of the challenges in paediatric anaesthesia is to minimize distress for children in the OT room environment and to facilitate smooth induction of anaesthesia. This is often accomplished by prior administration of a sedative drug before transfer to the Operation room.Midazolam is the most common drug used for this purpose.(1) This is due to its sedative and anxiolytic properties (2). However, undesirable properties like restlessness and respiratory depression have made it a less than ideal premedication (3).
Dexmedetomidine is a newer alpha agonist with a more selective action on alpha adrenoceptor and a shorter half life (4). It provides sedation, anxiolysis and analgesia without respiratory depression (5). 
The purpose of this study is to compare intravenous Midazolam and Dexmedetomidine as premedication in paediatric age group.
The null hypothesis of our study is that there is no significant difference between effect of intravenous Midazolam and Dexmedetomidine on preoperative sedation in paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia.
The study will be carried out in different Operation theatres of GMCH on paediatric patients in the age group 5-12 years.
