Clinical Trial Summary

Dose-finding study to compare intranasal midazolam doses of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mg/kg in children undergoing laceration repair to achieve the following aims: Specific Aim #1: To determine the most effective dose of intranasal midazolam for producing adequate sedation state and time to onset of minimal sedation associated with each dose. Specific Aim #2: To determine the time to recovery and describe the adverse events associated with each dose.


Clinical Trial Description

Intranasal midazolam is a common and effective sedative whose use in children presenting to emergency departments has been described. However, the doses of intranasal midazolam used have varied greatly, with no identified optimal dose. Doses most commonly described in literature reviews, research studies, and clinical guidelines range from 0.2 to 0.5 mg/kg. There is only one study, retrospective, that compares doses and suggests that clinical efficacy is improved with higher doses, without any clear difference in safety. There is a need for a rigorously-conducted trial to determine the dose of intranasal midazolam that optimizes the adequacy of sedation state without leading to adverse events or compromising emergency department-centric outcomes such as time to onset of sedation and time to recovery. To fill this important and persistent gap in knowledge, the investigator will conduct a dose-finding study using an adaptive trial design to compare intranasal midazolam doses of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mg/kg in children undergoing laceration repairs, one of the most common types of minor trauma treated in emergency departments. ;
