Sniff for sleep: nasal sprays battle to soothe scared kids before surgery

NCT ID NCT07180095

Summary

This study aims to find which of two nasal spray medications works better to safely calm and sedate young children (ages 2-6) before they go into surgery. Researchers will compare dexmedetomidine and ketamine, given as a spray 30 minutes before anesthesia, in 60 children. They will measure how sleepy the children become and how easily they can separate from their parents.
