Popis: Introduction. Emergence agitation (EA) is one of the common problems during recovery from general anesthesia, especially in children. In this study, we investigated the effect of dexmedetomidine on the control of agitation after anesthesia with sevoflurane in children. Method. This randomized control-placebo, double-blind prospective clinical trial was conducted on seventy-six children between 2 and 7 years with ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) class I who were candidates for elective adenoidectomy surgery and tonsillectomy. Participants were selected by an available sampling method. Patients were randomly placed in one of the two groups D (dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg infusion within ten minutes) or P (placebo: normal saline infusion within ten minutes). A four-point scale evaluated agitation. Pain evaluation was done by FLACC (faces, legs, activity, cry, and consolability). The statistical software was SPSS version 23. P
