Official title
Randomized Controlled Trial of Intranasal (IN) Midazolam vs IN Dexmedetomidine vs IN Ketamine Evaluating Length of Stay After Medication Administration and Anxiolysis During Minimal Procedures in Pediatric Population in Pediatric Emergency Department
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Pain in young children has been universally under-recognized due to their inability to describe or localize pain. Improvements in pharmacological interventions are necessary to optimize patient and family experience and allow for successful and efficient procedure completion. This is the first study that will compare three intranasal medications (Intranasal Midazolam, Dexmedetomidine, and Ketamine) to evaluate the length of stay after medication administration along with patient and provider satisfaction. The objective of this study is to demonstrate superior intranasal anxiolysis for pediatric laceration repairs with the shortest emergency department stay and highest patient and provider satisfaction. Based on previous studies and medication pharmacokinetics, we hypothesize that Intranasal Ketamine will have the shortest Emergency Department (ED) stay followed by Midazolam and then Dexmedetomidine with the longest stay; however, Dexmedetomidine will have the highest patient and provider satisfaction followed by Ketamine and then Midazolam.
