Summary
This study looked at two common methods to reduce anxiety in children aged 2-12 before an endoscopy: watching a short video or receiving a calming medication (dexmedetomidine) as nose drops. Researchers measured anxiety levels at different times before the procedure and how much extra sedation was needed. The goal was to see which approach works better to help kids feel more relaxed.
