Comparing the Outcome of Buccal Midazolam and Intramuscular Midazolam in Children Presenting With Seizures.
Comparison of Buccal Midazolam Versus Inter-muscular Midazolam in Control of Seizures
The goal of this clinical trial(Quasi Experimental) is to compare efficacy of oral midazolam over intra-muscular Midazolam in children suffering from seizures. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does Buccal midazolam has a better efficacy as compared to intramuscular midazolam in children presenting with seizures?
There will be two groups determined by randomisation and then one will be given buccal midazolam and other will will be administered IM Midazolam .The out come will be determined by the determining the cessation of seizures within 5 minutes duration achieved by administration of drug.

Detaljert beskrivelse
Introduction:
Generalised convulsive seizure is a serious and potentially life threatening medical emergency that requires prompt intervention. Administration of buccal midazolam is an efficient and easier method for control of seizures without the need for intravenous cannulation expertise or intramuscular injections.
Objectives:
To compare the outcome of buccal midazolam versus intramuscular midazolam in children presenting with seizures.
Study Design:
It is RCT
Settings:
Pediatric Medicine Department, PAF hospital, Islamabad
- Study Duration:
15th January 2022 to 14th July 2022
6. Materials & Methods: A total of 90 patients of both genders, 6 months to 12 years of age, presenting with seizures were included. Children with cardiac arrest or haemodynamic instability at presentation, head trauma or drowning, metabolic disorders, CKD were excluded.
All the patients were divided into two groups by lottery method.
In group A, children were given intramuscular midazolam in the thigh at 0.05 ml/kg (maximum 1.6 ml).
In group B, children were given buccal midazolam at 0.06 ml/kg (maximum 2 ml). They were followed till resolution of symptoms. If seizure resolved within 5 minutes, then success was labelled.

Cessation of seizues
Tidsramme: 5 minutes after drug administered
