-
Nebulized Dexmedetomidine vs Nebulized Lidocaine for Postoperative Sore Throat in Children
This study tests whether inhaled dexmedetomidine reduces sore throat after tonsil removal in children, compared with inhaled lidocaine.
-
Coblator Wand Performance: New vs Reprocessed Wands in Tonsil/Adenoid Surgery
This study tests whether reprocessed coblator ablation wands work as well as new wands for children having tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy.
-
How patient factors and surgical technique affect leftover adenoid tissue after adenoidectomy
This project will try to see if children's characteristics and the way surgeons remove adenoids affect how much adenoid tissue is left after adenoidectomy.
-
Ondansetron lozenge versus IV to prevent shivering after tonsil removal in children
This test will see if an ondansetron lozenge works as well as intravenous ondansetron to prevent shivering in children aged 4 to 15 having a tonsillectomy.
-
Using a synthetic membrane to improve healing after tonsil surgery
This study is testing if a special synthetic membrane can help people heal faster and with less pain after tonsil surgery.
-
Using gabapentin to reduce pain after tonsil surgery in children
This study is testing if giving gabapentin before tonsil surgery can help reduce pain and the need for stronger pain medications in children aged 3-18.
