Summary
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.
