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
