Filter by:Pain in young children has been universally under-recognized due to their inability to describe or localize pain. Improvements in pharmacological interventions are necessary to optimize patient and family experience and allow for successful and efficient procedure completion. This is the first study that will compare three intranasal medications (Intranasal Midazolam, Dexmedetomidine, and Ketamine) to evaluate the length of stay after medication administration along with patient and provider satisfaction. The objective of this study is to demonstrate superior intranasal anxiolysis for pediatric laceration repairs with the shortest emergency department stay and highest patient and provider satisfaction. Based on previous studies and medication pharmacokinetics, we hypothesize that Intranasal Ketamine will have the shortest Emergency Department (ED) stay followed by Midazolam and then Dexmedetomidine with the longest stay; however, Dexmedetomidine will have the highest patient and provider satisfaction followed by Ketamine and then Midazolam.
This is a 3-arm adaptive clinical trial to the optimal light sedative for reducing distress during laceration repair in children. The investigators will compare intranasal (IN) dexmedetomidine, IN midazolam, and nitrous oxide (N20). The primary outcome is the Observational Scale of Behavioral Distress - Revised (OSBD-R).
A prospective, randomized, controlled post-market clinical investigation that will enroll pediatric subjects requiring laceration repair. The investigation population will consist of 30 subjects fulfilling the eligibility criteria for the clinical investigation. The subjects will be randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to either the Zip 4 Surgical Skin Closure Device group or the Standard of Care sutures group.
