What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effects of oral Dexmedetomidine, Ketamine, and Midazolam as preoperative medications to reduce anxiety in children undergoing elective adenotonsillectomy. The study aims to enhance anesthetic induction while minimizing adverse effects and improving the overall surgical experience for both children and their parents. By administering these medications, the trial seeks to decrease the incidence of postoperative agitation and related complications. The approach focuses on ensuring a safe and painless premedication process that facilitates smoother anesthesia induction.
