Efficacy and Safety of Nebulized Midazolam versus Oral Midazolam as Sedative Premedication in Pediatric Surgeries
In pediatric patients undergoing ophthalmic surgeries, nebulized midazolam is as effective as oral midazolam for sedation. The nebulized form is better tolerated and results in significantly improved SpO<sub>2</sub> levels 30 min after administration. These findings indicate that nebulized midazolam is a safe and effective alternative to oral midazolam for sedative premedication in young children.
