| dc.description.abstract | In this study the efficacy of rectally administered midazolam in different doses for premedication of anaesthesia in pediatric patients have been evaluated. 42 children ages one to 10 years, scheduled for adenotonsilectomies in the ENT surgery ASA physical status I or II participated in the study. They were divided randomly into four groups, 11, 10, 10 and 11 in each group. The groups received 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 mg/kg midazolam respectively. Children in the second and third groups had a significantly higher percentage of excellent induction compared with the children in first group. The children in the first group (0.3 mg/kg) had significantly shorter length of stay in recovery room. Children in the 3th and 4th groups had a significantly lower incidence of postoperative excitement than first group (p<0.05). The highest incidence of marked sleepness and depression postoperatively was in the fourth group (p<0.01). Overall satisfactory premedication ratings were 54.3%, 90%, and 96.7% in the first, second, and third groups respectively. In our opinion more satisfaction can be obtained with rectally administered 0.5 mg/kg midazolam premedication in children. | |
