Evaluation of the Postoperative Agitation Prevention and Analgesic Efficacy of Perioperative Dexmedetomidine Infusion in a Pediatric Patient Group to Undergo Dental Treatment

February 28, 2024 updated by: Burak Omur, Medipol University
Dexmedetomidine is a drug known for its pain-relieving and restlessness-reducing effects. The purpose of this run is to use the association between this use during surgery and the attrition of post-operative pain and discomfort. In the research, laboratory and monitoring results will be obtained before, during and after the operation. Postoperative patient complaints will be evaluated at the postoperative service visit. This study is decided on a completely voluntary basis.
