Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Preoperative period is a stressful event in majority of pediatric individual undergoing surgical procedure. Smooth induction of anesthesia in pediatric patients requires adequate premedication.
Nebulization drug delivery is relatively easy and atraumatic mode. It reduces anxiety pain; decreases physical discomfort ; minimizes psychological trauma with a potential for anesthesia. Dexmedetomidine is potent drug and causes dose related sedation by its effect. It has been used in pediatric patients as premedication, as there is no respiratory depression or confusional state.
Midazolam and ketamine has also been used as premedication. Ketamine has been used to induce sedation and analgesia in various settings. Midazolam has rapid onset of action and good sedation.
All three drugs have their own side effects, respectively. The individual disadvantage of each drug can be counterbalanced when used in combination. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of two nebulized sedation combination regimes of dexmedetomidine-ketamine and dexmedetomidine-midazolam in pediatric patients.
