[Premedication with midazolam in infants. A comparison of different modes of administration].
Midazolam presents the properties of a good premedication because of its sedative and anxiolytic activity. The aim of this study, concerning 84 children, was to compare the efficacy of midazolam according to the three ways of administration: intrarectal, oral and intranasal, in reference to a group without premedication. Results have shown the superiority of intrarectal midazolam at the dose of 0.35 mg.kg-1 30 minutes before surgery. The tolerance of this way of administration is excellent and it allows a greater sedative activity compared to the control group and to the intranasal group.
