Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Children who are upset during induction of general anaesthesia are frequently distressed postoperatively and are more likely to demonstrate negative behaviour changes.

This pilot study is a randomised controlled study of clonidine vs placebo during anaesthesia to identify whether postoperative behavioural disturbance may be minimised.
