Brief Summary

Preoperative anxiety in children is a major concern to the pediatric anesthesiologist. Children may become overtly uncooperative at the time of seperation from parents , venipuncture, or mask application.

Preinduction techniques ,aimed at reducing preoperative anxiety.

For sedative medications ketamine ,midazolam, fentanyl have been used with variable results. Dexmedetomedine is a highly selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist that provides sedation, anxiolysis and analgesic effects without causing respiratory depression.

In children it is a difficult and even traumatic to obtain iv acess and lack of cooperation like swallowing for oral route makes the transmucosal route a more preferred one.

We plan to undertake this to objectively assess and compare the efficacy of these three doses of dexmedetomedine as premedications by these objective validated scoring system.
