To determine the optimal sedative dose of intranasal dexmedetomidine for children undergoing laceration repair. ⋯ Despite limitations, such as our limited sample size and subjectivity in Pediatric Sedation State Scale scoring, sedation efficacy for 3 and 4 mcg/kg were similarly based on equitailed credible intervals suggesting either could be considered optimal.

We aimed to address this knowledge gap. ⋯ Hyperacute T waves, when defined as increased T-wave amplitude exceeding the 95th percentile, did not provide useful information in diagnosing myocardial infarction in this sample.
