Intranasal Dexmedetomidine vs Oral Midazolam for Premedication in Pediatric Surgery

11. Mai 2026 aktualisiert von: Siyament cangir, Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital

Comparison of Intranasal Dexmedetomidine and Oral Midazolam for Premedication in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Elective Inguinal and Urological Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial

This study aims to compare the effects of intranasal dexmedetomidine and oral midazolam as premedication in pediatric patients undergoing elective inguinal and urological surgery under general anesthesia.

Premedication plays a critical role in reducing preoperative anxiety, facilitating parent-child separation, and improving cooperation during anesthesia induction in pediatric patients. While oral midazolam is widely used, it has several limitations, including variable bioavailability and the risk of paradoxical reactions. Intranasal dexmedetomidine has emerged as a promising alternative due to its sedative, anxiolytic, and minimal respiratory depressant effects.

In this prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study, patients aged 2-10 years will be assigned to receive either intranasal dexmedetomidine or oral midazolam prior to anesthesia induction. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients achieving adequate sedation at induction, defined as a Ramsay Sedation Score (RSS) ≥2.

Secondary outcomes include perioperative hemodynamic stability, parent-child separation anxiety, mask acceptance during induction, postoperative emergence agitation, recovery time, and the need for rescue sedation.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial aims to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine and oral midazolam as premedication in pediatric patients undergoing elective inguinal and urological surgery under general anesthesia.

Premedication is essential in pediatric anesthesia to reduce preoperative anxiety, facilitate parent-child separation, and improve cooperation during anesthesia induction. Oral midazolam is widely used but has limitations such as variable bioavailability and potential adverse behavioral effects. Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenoreceptor agonist, has emerged as an alternative due to its sedative, anxiolytic, and minimal respiratory depressant effects.

Eligible pediatric patients will be prospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either intranasal dexmedetomidine or oral midazolam. A double-blind design will be maintained by administering both oral and intranasal preparations in each group. Premedication will be administered prior to anesthesia induction, and perioperative clinical parameters will be recorded.

This study is expected to provide clinically relevant evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of intranasal dexmedetomidine compared to oral midazolam, potentially contributing to improved premedication strategies in pediatric anesthesia.

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Aktiver Komparator: Midazolam Group
Participants in this group will receive oral midazolam at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (maximum 15 mg) as premedication 30 minutes prior to anesthesia induction, along with intranasal placebo to maintain blinding. This approach ensures consistent administration routes across study groups.
Arzneimittel: Midazolam
Oral midazolam administered at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (maximum 15 mg) approximately 30 minutes prior to anesthesia induction for premedication in pediatric patients.

Was misst die Studie?

Primäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Proportion of patients achieving adequate sedation at anesthesia induction
Zeitfenster: Approximately 30 minutes after premedication, at anesthesia induction
Adequate sedation is defined as a Ramsay Sedation Score (RSS) ≥2 assessed immediately before mask application at the time of anesthesia induction
Approximately 30 minutes after premedication, at anesthesia induction

Sekundäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Parent-child separation anxiety score
Zeitfenster: At parent-child separation before anesthesia induction

Parent-child separation anxiety will be assessed using the Parental Separation Anxiety Scale (PSAS). The scale ranges from 1 to 4, where 1 indicates "calm/easy separation" and 4 indicates "crying/extreme difficulty in separation." Higher scores represent worse outcomes (higher levels of anxiety). A score of >2 is defined as significant separation anxiety.

Unit of Measure: Units on a scale
At parent-child separation before anesthesia induction
Mask acceptance at induction
Zeitfenster: At the time of mask application during anesthesia induction
Mask acceptance will be assessed using the Mask Acceptance Scale (MAS ) at the time of mask application during anesthesia induction. Mask Acceptance will be defined as WDS 1-2.
At the time of mask application during anesthesia induction
Postoperative emergence agitation
Zeitfenster: At PACU admission, at 5 and 10 minutes, and then every 10 minutes until Aldrete score is ≥9
Emergence agitation will be assessed using the Watcha Behavior Scale (WDS). Agitation will be defined as WDS >2.
At PACU admission, at 5 and 10 minutes, and then every 10 minutes until Aldrete score is ≥9
Need for rescue sedation
Zeitfenster: From premedication until anesthesia induction
Requirement for rescue sedation during the preoperative period will be recorded as yes/no.
