Overview

Brief Summary

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is safe and effective in reducing ED following sevoflurane anesthesia. The investigators intend to study the efficacy of DEX in reducing ED in children undergoing tonsillectomy with and without adenoidectomy using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol .
