Different Premedication in Pediatric Patients

May 5, 2022 updated by: Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University

Effects of Different Premedication on Preoperative Sedation and Postoperative Agitation in Children Undergoing Ophthalmic and Otorhinolaryngologic Operations

The investigators studied the effects of intranasal dexmedetomidine compared with oral midazolam with different doses for premedication in children. One hundred and twenty children aged between 2 and 12 years were randomly allocated to one of four groups:2.5µg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine group ; 0.5mg/kg oral midazolam group;0.05 mg/kg intravenous injection midazolam group; no premedication group.

Sedation levels 10, 20, and 30min after premedication were evaluated using a 5-point sedation scale. A 4-point emotional state score was used to evaluate participators when they were separated from their parents and their response to intravenous cannulation or facemask application. Agitation scores (Pediatric Anesthe-sia Emergence Delirium [PAED] scale) and POV were assessed in the postanesthetic care unit (PACU).Times to endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway removal, discharge from the PACU and patients' satisfaction degree were also assessed.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
