Brief Summary  

The preoperative period is the most distressing for children undergoing surgery,and this is made even more so with parental separation,fear of physicians and needle injections. Preoperative anxiety stimulates sympathetic,parasympathetic and endocrine systems leading to increased heart rate,blood pressure and cardiac excitability may sometime prolong the induction of the anaesthesia. It also predisposes the children to emergence delirium,sleep disturbances and behavioural changes postoperatively.

A few methods to alleviate preoperative anxiety include appropriate preoperative communication,being accompanied by their parents during induction of anaesthesia and medical interventions i.e.,premedication. Sedative premedication is the most common and effective means to minimize preoperative anxiety,minimize emotional trauma and facilitate smooth induction of anaesthesia. Dexmedetomidine is a new highly selective alpha 2 adrenergic agonist. It provides sedation,analgesia,and anxiolysis without any respiratory depression.

In view of the above situation,we are conducting a study to compare the effect of two doses of intranasal atomized dexmedetomidine on parental separation in paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery.
