Interventions

Patients will be premedicated with oral midazolam 0.5 mg/kg (maximum 15 mg) approximately 30 minutes prior to surgery. Standard monitors (oxygen saturation&#44
electro&#45
cardiography&#44
noninvasive blood pressure) will be applied in the operating room before induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia will be induced by propofol 3&#45
4 mg/kg if an intravenous (IV) cannula present or 8% sevoflurane in 100% oxygen following by venous access if the patient does not have an IV cannula. Once the IV cannula is established&#44
fentanyl 1.0 mcg/kg and cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg will be given. After reaching an adequate anesthetic depth&#44
a proper&#45
size orotracheal tube (size according to the patient’s age) will be inserted. Anesthesia will be maintained with sevoflurane and 50% N2O in oxygen under control ventilation. End&#45
tidal sevoflurane concentration will be monitored with keeping the sevoflurane concentration about 1.0 minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) according to the child age. After ensuring that the child is
the anesthesia care team including an attending anesthesiologist and a nurse will be asked to leave the operating theater. Then the block team (a principle investigator&#44
an anesthesia resident and a nurse anesthetist) will come to take over the patient care. The LA solution of DEX group will be prepared by adding 0.5 % bupivacaine 5 ml to NSS 5 ml and dexmedetomidine
