Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of dexmedetomidine for children under sedation at intensive care unit after surgery. Patients will receive dexmedetomidine intravenously for 50 minutes after surgery as as sedation drug.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, is being effectively used for procedural sedation or sedation at intensive care unit. However, the safety and efficacy profile are not yet established for children. Although there have been some studies regrading it, still there is no public guideline, therefore making it difficult to use dexmedetomidine in children.
