Brief Summary  

All children undergoing elective surgeries requiring premedication will be explained in detail.

Eligible children will be recruited consecutively and will be randomized using computer generated random envelope method. The random allocation sequence will be generated by the support staff of the institute who will not be part of the study.

Children will be randomly divided into 3 groups,

            Group M – Children receiving oral midazolam

            Group MT– Children receiving oral melatonin

            Group D- Children receiving oral dexmedetomidine

All children will be assessed preoperatively, will have to undergo basic investigations (CBC, Coagulation profile, ECG,CXR)and written consent will be obtained .

Basal heart rate, systolic blood pressure ,diastolic blood pressure , mean arterial pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate will be recorded in premedication room before giving premedication.

           Group M children will receive oral Midazolam 0.5mg/kg .

           Group MT children will receive oral Melatonin 0.5mg/kg .

           Group D children will receive oral Dexmedetomidine 2.5mcg/kg .

Basal heart rate, systolic blood pressure ,diastolic blood pressure , mean arterial pressure, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate and ETCO2 will be recorded every 15 mins from the administration of premedication .

The score for ease of separation from parent will be recorded after 60 mins from the administration of premedication.

The score for Preoperative Anxiety will be assessed after 60 mins from the administration of  premedication using modified yale preoperative anxiety scale.

Sedation will be reassessed 60 mins after the premedication using observer sedation score.

Mask acceptance scores will also be recorded after 60 mins from the administration of  premedications .

Basal heart rate, systolic blood pressure ,diastolic blood pressure , mean arterial pressure,oxygen saturation ,respiratory rate ,etco2 will be recorded postoperatively for 1 hour in the recovery room.
