Abstract

An α2-specific agonist is the medication used to control analgesia; it has been demonstrated to be beneficial in reducing the amount of opioids needed and reducing emergence agitation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative benefits of continuous intraoperative infusion of dexmedetomidine vs a single dose of fentanyl during surgery for avoiding emerging agitation and perioperative painkiller usage in children with OSA undergoing adenotonsillectomy.
