Official title

Clinical Characteristics of Intranasal Dexmedetomidine for Sedation in Children Undergoing Non-painful Procedures

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Specific Aim 1: To describe the adequacy of sedation associated with different regimens of IN DEX in children undergoing non-painful procedures. This aim will test the working hypothesis that IN DEX regimens are effective for producing sedation adequate for completion of non-painful procedures in children. Specific Aim 2: To describe the temporal characteristics associated with varied regimens of IN DEX in children undergoing non-painful procedures, such as time to onset of adequate sedation; time to procedure start; and time from procedure end to meeting discharge criteria. This aim will test the working hypothesis that IN DEX regimens have temporal characteristics that are favourable for sedating children for non-painful procedures. Specific Aim 3: To describe the adverse events associated with varied regimens of IN DEX in children undergoing non-painful procedures. This aim will test the working hypothesis that IN DEX regimens have a low incidence of adverse events.
