Dexmedetomidine versus ketofol effect on the incidence of emergence agitation associated with sevoflurane-based anesthesia in children undergoing orthopedic surgery

Conclusion We found that ketofol in a dose (propofol 1mg/kg in a combination with ketamine 0.25mg/kg) was as effective as dexmedetomidine in a dose of 0.3μg/kg for prevention of EA, but with better analgesic effect and without delaying of emergence.
