Active clinical trials for "Psychomotor Agitation"

Most of the patients after cardiac surgery need sedation in the iCU. Sedation strategy could impact the incidence of vasopressor use.

This study designed to evaluate the correlation between the effect of intraoperative magnesium sulfate infusion and the incidence of emergence agitation after pediatric ophthalmic surgery

Compare the effects of intravenous midazolam and ketamine on emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia

Sevoflurane is the volatile anesthetic agent of choice in pediatric surgery. Nevertheless, sevoflurane anesthesia had the high incidence of emergence delirium compared to halothane and isoflurane.Bortone L et al.reported isoflurane for maintenance decreased incidence of emergence agitation compared to sevoflurane in unpremedicated preschool children under elective subumbilical surgery (32% versus 52% respectively). Desflurane is the new volatile anesthetic agent which provides faster recovery compared to sevoflurane.Valley et al.reported no significant differences between sevoflurane or desflurane anesthesia in children in term of the serious airway complication such as laryngospasm or desaturation excepted the number of coughing episodes were more frequent in the desflurane compared to sevoflurane (36 versus 18).Mayer J et al. reported sevoflurane had severity of Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale higher than desflurane in ear, nose, throat inpatient surgery in children (12(2-20) versus 6(0-15) respectively) with no reported of incidence of emergence agitation between those two. Therefore, the investigators would like to compare the incidence of emergence agitation, recovery profile and respiratory events between desflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia in pediatric ambulatory urologic surgery under general anesthesia and combined with regional anesthesia.

Investigators evaluated the effect of intranasal ketamine or alfentanil addition to oral midazolam for prevention of emergence agitation.Seventy-eight, 1-8 year-old children, undergoing urological surgery with sevoflurane anesthesia was included in the study. All the children received oral midazolam 0.5 mg/kg 40 minutes before anesthesia induction then enrolled to one of the study groups, randomly. Ketamine group (Group MK; n=26) patients were given 2mg/kg intranasal ketamine whereas, alfentanil group (Group MA; n=25) were given 10microgram/kg intranasal alfentanil 8-10 min before the induction of anesthesia. Saline group (Group MS; n=27) received intranasal isotonic saline.Parental separation, mask acceptance were evaluated with a 4- point scale. Emergence agitation was evaluated with Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium score.

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of pregabalin in treating moderate to severe Restless Legs Syndrome in comparison to placebo.

This study was performed to assess the effects of continuous remifentanil infusion and single bolus administration of fentanyl on the incidence of emergence agitation in pediatrics undergoing strabismus surgery.

The study aims to assess the effect of using music and essential oil on agitation in mechanically ventilated patients. Listening to classical relaxation music, and inhalation to bergamot oil will be used in this study.

This study is designed to determine and evaluate the optimal BXCL501 starting dose (StartD) that will safely and effectively reduce agitation associated with delirium in ICU patients. This is an ascending adaptive dose study evaluating the safety and efficacy of four potential starting doses of BXCL501 (120 μg, 180 μg, 240 μg, and 300 μg) in reducing agitation levels in adult ICU patients with delirium. For subjects 65 years of age and older, the potential doses will be reduced 50% in line with the Precedex (reference drug) label. The purpose of this clinical trial is to identify an optimally safe and effective BXCL501

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of transbucal dexmedetomidine given in preschool children undergoing tonsillectomy operations in the prevention sevoflurane agitation.
