Dose Response Relationship of Dexmedetomidine in Decreasing Post Operative Analgesic Requirements in the Pediatric Tonsillectomy Patient
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Dexmedetomidine 0.75 mcg/kg, Morphine 50 mcg/kg, and 2 other interventions for Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy and Post Operative Analgesia. Completed, enrolled 109 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The hypothesis of this study is that the administration of an intra-operative dose of dexmedetomidine will result in adequate analgesia without respiratory depression thereby resulting in an early discharge from the post anesthetic care unit following adenotonsillectomy.
