Abstract:
Objective To determine the effectiveness of preoperative sedation with rectal midazolam and atropine alone or combined with ketamine in infants and young children.Methods One-hundred and six ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ infants and young children aged 2 months-2 years scheduled for elective general surgical operation were studied in a double blind fashion.The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups:group M received rectal atropine 0.02 mg?kg~(-1) and midazolam 0.5 mg?kg~(-1)(n=39);group MK and MKK received rectal atropine 0.02 mg?kg~(-1), midazolam 0.5 mg?kg~(-1) and ketamine 4 mg?kg~(-1)(MK,n=34)or 8 mg?kg~(-1)(MKK,n=33).The patients were transferred from the ward to the operating room(OR)30 min after rectal administration.Depth of sedation was evaluated before and 15 min after rectal administration; when the patients were separated from their parents and on arrival in OR using De Jong's sedation score system.SpO_2 and HR were monitored in OR.Results The patients were better sedated in group MK and MKK than in group M after rectal administration.Significantly more patients were asleep on seperation from their parents and on arrival in OR in group MK and MKK than in group M. Significantly more patients were calm and not crying at venepuncture in group MKK(63%)and group MK(32%) than in group M(18%).Conclusion Rectal midazolam combined with ketamine and atropine results in better preoperative sedation than rectal midazolam alone in infants and young children.
