This study looked at three different anesthesia methods to see which one causes less agitation when patients wake up from septoplasty (nose surgery). The methods tested were total intravenous anesthesia, combined inhaled and intravenous anesthesia, and inhaled anesthesia alone. O…

This study tested whether giving children a single dose of magnesium before tonsil surgery could reduce confusion and agitation when they wake up. 120 children aged 4 to 7 took part. Half received magnesium syrup and half received a placebo (lemon juice). Researchers measured agi…

This study tested two common sedatives, dexmedetomidine and midazolam, to see which one better prevents confusion and agitation after sinus surgery. 146 adults having functional endoscopic sinus surgery took part. The goal was to find a way to help patients wake up more calmly.

This study tested whether giving children a drink called Lactium before surgery could reduce agitation when they wake up from anesthesia. The trial involved 135 children aged 4 to 7 years undergoing tonsil and adenoid removal. Researchers measured agitation levels using a standar…

This study looked at giving a small, non-sleeping dose of propofol just before waking patients up from nose surgery (rhinoplasty). The goal was to see if it could reduce the confusion and restlessness some people feel as they come out of anesthesia. 80 adults took part, and resea…

This trial tested two drugs, propofol and dexmedetomidine, to see which better prevents emergence agitation—a state of restlessness and crying—in children aged 3 to 7 after squint surgery. Eighty children were randomly given one of the drugs after anesthesia. The goal is to find …
