Brief Summary  

A randomized double blind contro; clinical study was done in 100 children with age group 6 to 12 belonging to asa physical status 1,scheduled for tonsillectomy under general anaesthesia. The present study was to compare satisfactory sedation,co-operation for mask induction and alleviation of anxiety. The study group,group D (Dexmedetomidine, n=50) received 1mcg/kg of intranasal dexmedetomidine and group M (Midazolam, n=50) received 0.2mg/kg of intranasal midazolam. 

The two group were similar with regards to age,gender,duration of surgery and duration of anaesthesia,extubation time.

 Premedication in paediatric patients using intranasal dexmedetomidine is more effective than intranasal midazolam in providing sedation and satisfactory conditions during parental separation.

 In term of providing ambient conditions during mask induction, both the drugs midazolam and dexmedetomidine are equally effective. 

There is no clinically significant difference in the hemodynamic parameters between the two groups.
