[Sedation and analgesia in interventions].
Children with leukemia have to undergo many times painful procedures like bone-marrow aspiration and lumbar puncture. For reduction of anxiety and pain sensation good psychological support can be an important help. Often sedative drugs are used, or even general anaesthesia may be necessary. There is a need of a safe, short-acting and effective medication. Among the different possibilities the intravenous or rectal administration of midazolam seems to be very promising.
