Medical premedication in contrast to psychological preparation in children before operatio
- Conditions
- Children who have to undergo a pediatric surgery procedure get preoperative midazolam 1mg/kg but maximum 15mg.It is a common problem, that in children with a weight more than 15 kilos premedication is often useless, because the maximal dose is too low to reach the desired effect. Nevertheless those children are too small to accept the prospective procedure, as mask induction or a venous cannula. Even paradox reactions to benzodiazepines lead to the avoidance of midazolam.Therapeutic area: Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment [E] - Anesthesia and Analgesia [E03]
