Clinical Trial Description

This study is to be carried out to compare nebulized midazolam and oral midazolam in achievement of a satisfactory level of sedation, Ramsey Sedation Score (RSS) of 4, within 30 mins of midazolam administration in pediatric surgical patients.

In Pediatric Specialized Hospital, Cairo University 72 pediatric patients scheduled for undergoing general or uro-surgical operations under general anesthesia will be included in this double-blinded study. Patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups, each group including 36 patients. In one group 36 children will receive nebulized midazolam 0.2 mg/kg in 3 ml normal saline plus 5 ml clear juice (orally) 30 min before undergoing general anesthesia. In the other group 36 children will receive oral midazolam 0.5 mg/kg in 5 ml clear juice plus nebulizer of 3 ml normal saline 30 min before undergoing GA.

level of sedation will be compared between both groups ;
