Brief Summary   One of the most common problem in children receiving Sevoflurane based anaesthesia while undergoing Adenotonsillectomy is emergence agitation. It can induce potential problems in children such as self injury, disconnection of the intravenous line , cough, stridor and bleeding which can cause difficulties for medical staff and serious anxiety for family members in the postoperative period. In our study we are going to evaluate the effectiveness of low dose intravenous Dexmedetomidine versus Nalbuphine versus Ketamine for the prevention of Emergence agitation.
