Summary

This study looks at how two different doses of dexmedetomidine, a sedative, affect the amount of sevoflurane (an inhaled anesthetic) needed to prevent movement during surgery in children aged 1 month to 3 years. Researchers will enroll 180 children and check their response to a small skin cut. The goal is to find safer, more precise anesthesia dosing for young kids.
