Lidocaine and Dexamethasone, Ketamine and Dexamethasone, and Dexamethasone Alone in Tonsillectomy Complications.

Background: Common complications including stridor, laryngospasm, and bronchospasm are important in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Dexamethasone, lidocaine, and ketamine could have significant roles in reducing these complications. Here we aimed to compare the use of these drugs during tonsillectomy.

Comparative study of the effect of administering two doses of tranexamic acid in patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy.

Background: Adenotonsillectomy is a safe and common operation to remove adenoids and tonsils. Here we decided to compare the two dosages of tranexamic acid and their effects on hemodynamic changes and anesthesia-related indexes during surgical interventions.

Methods: This is a double-blinded clinical trial performed in 2019-2020 on 64 children who were candidates for adenotonsillectomy.
