| Abstract | This prospective double blind and randomized study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of rectally administered midazolam for premedication of paediatric patients. 100 ASA grade I and II children in the age group of 5-10 years were randomly allocated to two groups of 50 patients each. Group I (midazolam group) received 0.3mg/kg midazolam rectally and group II (saline group) received 5 ml of normal saline rectally.The results of the study showed that midazolam in the dosage of 0.3mg/kg given rectally was acceptable to children, produced satisfactory sedation, provided easy separation of children from parents, maintained stable cardio respiratory status preoperatively as well as postoperatively and produced smooth emergence from anaesthesia but with delayed recovery. |
