Dexmedetomidine Cuts Perioperative Respiratory AEs in Tonsillectomy – HealthDay
Commentary on Twitter
Children often required sedatives before surgery due to anxiety and crying. In this RCT, intranasal midazolam increased the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs), while intranasal dexmedetomidine reduced PRAEs. #OrigInvestigation https://t.co/5AAILuzstM pic.twitter.com/WejpGkAGGs
