Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Intravenous ketamine plus midazolam vs. intravenous ketamine for sedation in lumbar puncture: a randomized controlled trial.
To compare a combined dose of ketamine and midazolam versus ketamine alone in the sedation of children requiring lumbar puncture. ⋯ We conclude that adding midazolam to ketamine did not increase the frequency of adverse events and that the combined sedative was superior to ketamine alone in terms of speed of sedation and parental satisfaction.
