Database of Additional Parameters from a Pediatric Tonsillectomy Dexmedetomidine Study

A prospective randomized clinical pilot study evaluated inhaled Dexmedetomidine for premedication in children undergoing tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy. The dataset contains perioperative clinical parameters, opioid consumption, and laboratory results for oxidative and inflammatory stress markers from 31 pediatric patients. Vesna V. Stevanovic published the data on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare perioperative sedation levels based on Ramsey sedation score and Bispectral index (BIS) values.
• Analyze the relationship between Dexmedetomidine administration and postoperative pain scores (VAS).
• Investigate the drug's impact on oxidative stress markers like malondialdehyde (MDA) levels.
• Evaluate differences in intraoperative opioid consumption (fentanyl, alfentanil) between treatment groups.
• Assess postoperative delirium (PEAD score) and vital sign stability in pediatric patients.

Strengths

• Data originates from a prospective randomized clinical pilot study with a defined protocol.
• Includes results for 31 pediatric patients (16 in treatment group, 15 in control).
• Contains multiple measured endpoints: clinical scores, vital signs, laboratory markers, and opioid consumption.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 15.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
