title: Experience with triazolam in preschool children.
abstract: Triazolam (0.125 to 0.25 mg) was administered preoperatively to 17 unmanageable children aged 22 to 65 months. The children were monitored visually and by pulse oximeter. No child experienced any airway obstruction and none had oxygen saturation below 90%. Older children had lower SaO2 values than younger children. There was no relationship between the mg/kg dose and SaO2 values.
