Phase 4
Conditions
Epilepsy
Trauma
Metabolic Disease
Interventions
Other: oral 30% glucose
Drug: IV midazolam
Registration Number
NCT02645279
Lead Sponsor
Baskent University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of oral glucose administration during MRI for imaging of newborns and compare with midazolam sedation.

Detailed Description

Motion artefacts affect the quality of MRI and in order to overcome this problem procedures are performed under sedation or general anaesthesia. The safety profile of these methods for newborns is unclear. Alternative non-pharmacological interventions are changeable and might be time consuming. Oral glucose/sucrose administration has been the most frequently studied non-pharmacologic intervention in term and preterm neonates during painful procedures. In this study investigators aimed to compare oral 30% glucose and intravenous midazolam their efficiency on sedation during MRI.
