About this study

Official title: Buccal Midazolam Versus Nasal or Oral Midazolam Sedation for Minor Invasive Procedures in Children: A Prospective Randomized Control Study

Currently Midazolam sedation is the standard of care for minor invasive procedures in pediatric patients; its use is restricted to two routes of administration for this purpose oral and intranasal.

A third route of administration (buccal) is tested and approved for seizure management. In the investigators' study the researchers investigate the buccal route of administration versus oral or intranasal administration for sedation. The investigators' hypothesis is that buccal route of administration is more convenient than intranasal and better absorbed than oral.

Being tested
Midazolam

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MidazolamDrug

    Also called Dormicum

    comparison between 3 routes of administration of the drug Midazolam used for sedation for minor procedures in pediatric population. the routes are oral intranasal and buccal.

    described by the parent and the physician by a numerical rating scale (NRS) questionaire

    Measured: 15 minutes

  4. efficacy of the sedation

    described by the parent, nurse and physician by a NRS questionaire

    Measured: 4 hours

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
