When routine behavior control is impossible, midazolam is often used for sedation. because it has wide margin of safety, relatively few side-effects and multiple route of administration. Although intramuscular administration of all administration route is frequently used. it is a major source of anxiety, discomfort, and trauma in children. To the contrary, oral administration of midazolam is easily administered and accepted by children. But, it’s therapeutic drug concentration has not been established. The purpose of this study was to compare sedation effect and physiologic parameter of oral midazolam which palliate demer its of intramuscular administration in sedating young pediatric patients with intramuscular midazolam
Twelve negative children, mean age 62.5 months. who needed at least two separate restorative visits, requiring local anesthesia participated in this study. On every visit, one of the following 2 different sedative regimen was given : (1) 0.30mg/kg midazolam by intramuscular administration (2) 0.75mg/kg by oral administration. Physiologic parameter(oxygen saturation, heart rate) was recorded by ten procedure and behavior was videotaped and rated using Ohio State University Behavior Rating Scale and Automated Counting System by one investigator, blind to administration route.
The analyzed sedative effect of oral midazolam resulted in good sedative effect, comparing to intramuscular route. And there is no statistically difference between oral and intramuscular administration of midazolam(p>0.05).
