Filter by:Electroencephalogram (EEG) has an important place in establishing the correct diagnosis, providing appropriate intervention, and predicting the prognosis in the long term in children. When the literature is examined, it is seen that different sedative drugs (benzodiazepines, barbiturates, phenothiazine, chloral hydrate, hydroxyzine, melatonin, etc.) and their combinations are used to provide sedation during EEG recordings, but there is no ideal sedative drug. Nurses working in the field of pediatric neurology in EEG recordings; It has important roles in preparing the child and parent for the procedure, applying sedation before the procedure, performing the EEG recording properly, monitoring vital signs during the procedure, monitoring the effects of the sedative substance after the procedure, and sending the patient home safely. Pediatric nurses fulfill these roles by adopting a multidisciplinary team approach. In this context, the aim of our research is; The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of chloral hydrate, hydroxyzine and melatonin, which are used as sedative agents before EEG recording in children, on sleep success, time to fall asleep, side effects and EEG background.
The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effects of oral sedation using midazolam and hydroxyzine with and without meperidine (a narcotic) on sedation outcomes in pediatric dental patients undergoing dental treatment at the University of Washington Center for Pediatric Dentistry. Procedural sedation can be offered as an option for dental treatment for a young, potentially uncooperative pediatric patient to safely and effectively complete dental restorative needs. Both sedation regimens are already regularly used for patients at the UW CPD. The goal of this study is to assess if removing a narcotic from the regimen will produce the same behavioral success outcomes as a regimen with a narcotic. Our hypothesis is that patients who receive oral sedation using midazolam, hydroxyzine, and meperidine will experience fewer behavioral failures than those who receive oral sedation using midazolam and hydroxyzine without meperidine. The secondary objective of this project is to evaluate the relationship between child temperament and sedation outcome in each treatment group.
Oculocardiac reflex (OCR) is usually happening in pediatric strabismus surgery and observed just when the surgent pulls the ocular muscles. The reflex is one of the trigemino-vagal reflexes, and causes bradycardia, arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest during eye surgery. Premedication for relaxation with drugs like hydroxyzine dihydrochloride or midazolam before surgery of the pediatric population is often used in Turkey, although it is not recommended in foreign countries. Some recent studies showed that when midazolam and hydroxyzine dihydrochloride used together not only, they lessen agitation before surgery but also they prevent emergence agitation. The primary aim of this prospective observational study is to show the effect of hydroxyzine dihydrochloride on preventing the pediatric patient from Oculocardiac reflex related to strabismus surgery.
