Abstract

Background: Premedication in pediatric population helps to produce a relaxed state with reduced anxiety and increased.  These pre-medications, midazolam and dexmedetomidine are effectively used as sedatives. The present study was planned to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine with intranasal midazolam as a pre-anesthetic medication in children. Fear of unpleasant and painful procedures, separation from parents and unwillingness to breathe through an anaesthesia face mask may produce stormy anaesthetic induction in unpremeditated patients. Because of this premedication should be an integral part of paediatric anaesthetic practice. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the Intranasal administration of Midazolam and Dexmedetomidine as Premedication on Haemodynamic Stability among Paediatric Patients. Material & Methods: This Comparative study was carried out at Department of Anaesthesiology, P K DAS Institute of Medical Sciences, Vaniamkulam, Ottapalam  Kerala, India  . A total of  70 Paediatric Patients of  both sex age group between 1- 5 year from the routine surgical list of our Hospital were included in the study. The children were divided into two groups i.e. 35 in each based on the premedication received and by random allotted numbers.
