Summary
This study looked at two common methods to reduce anxiety in children aged 2-12 before an endoscopy: watching short videos or receiving a nasal spray of dexmedetomidine. Researchers measured anxiety levels at different times before the procedure. The goal was to see which approach works better to help kids feel calmer and reduce the need for additional sedation.
