Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparison of four sedation techniques for pediatric dental surgery.
We prospectively assessed the efficacy and side effects of four sedation techniques in our dental clinic: oral midazolam, intranasal (IN) midazolam, IN midazolam combined with oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC), and IN midazolam combined with IN sufentanil. ⋯ All four sedation regimens were equally effective in this cohort of healthy children. The onset and recovery with OTFC was significantly delayed compared with the other regimens. The frequency of side effects was small; there were no side effects in the PO midazolam group.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyThe effects of droperidol and ondansetron on dispersion of myocardial repolarization in children.
To compare the effects of droperidol and ondansetron on electrocardiographic indices of myocardial repolarization in children. ⋯ Droperidol and ondansetron, in therapeutic anti-emetic doses, produce equivalent, clinically insignificant QT prolongation and negligible Tp-e prolongation, suggesting that neither is torsadogenic in healthy children at these doses.
