What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. postoperative agitation prevention in pediatrics after adenotonsillectomy under sevoflurane anesthesia

    during stay in postoperative care unit using pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium score (PAED) as score equal or more than 16/20 is considered presence of agitation. during stay in postanesthesia care unit,score will be documented every 10 minutes by recovery staff.

    Measured: stay in postoperative care unit till discharge of patient to ward.Time frame is up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. sedation in early postopertive time during child stay in postanesthesia care unit

    stay in postoperative care unit using Ramsay sedation score evey 10 minutes till discharge to ward,assessed by recovery staff..Presence of score 4/6 or more means that child is sedated,and needs more time in recovery,..

    Measured: stay in postoperative care unit till discharge of patient to ward.Time frame is up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Dexmedetomidine, Nalbuphine and infusion pump in people with Emergence Delirium, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative agitation prevention in pediatrics after adenotonsillectomy under sevoflurane anesthesia (time frame: stay in postoperative care unit till discharge of patient to ward.Time frame is up to 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Aug 2019.
