Premedication for children with oral trimeprazine and droperidol.
In 60 children aged 1-9 years, weighing under 33 kg, oral trimeprazine and oral trimeprazine plus droperidol were compared as premedicants in a controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The addition of droperidol to the trimeprazine syrup produces greater uniformity in pre-operative sedation, a low incidence of postoperative vomiting, and a reduced requirement for postoperative analgesia.
