First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a nose spray (dexmedetomidine) or a syrup (midazolam) given before surgery can prevent delirium—confusion and agitation—in children waking up from anesthesia. About 60 children aged 3 months to 9 years having ear tube surgery will take part. The goal is to find which drug works better and is easier for kids to accept.
