Medication Acceptance of Intranasal Midazolam Administered by Parents vs. Doctors

Preoperative anxiety is a common concern in pediatric patients. This study investigates the effectiveness of intranasal midazolam, a sedative medication, in reducing anxiety and improving medication acceptance in children undergoing elective surgery. The researchers compared the medication acceptance and preoperative anxiolysis of midazolam administered by parents versus medical staff. The results provide insights into the potential benefits of involving parents in the administration of premedication.

Improved Medication Acceptance and Anxiolysis

The study found that children who received intranasal midazolam administered by their parents experienced better sedation, higher medication acceptance, and easier parental separation compared to those who received the medication from medical staff. This finding suggests that parental involvement in premedication administration can have a significant impact on the child's experience and may lead to improved outcomes.

Parental Involvement in Pediatric Healthcare

This research highlights the importance of parental involvement in pediatric healthcare, particularly when it comes to managing anxiety and promoting medication acceptance. The study provides evidence that involving parents in the medication administration process can contribute to a more positive and effective experience for both the child and the family.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

Just as a mother camel provides comfort and care for her young, parents play a vital role in easing their child's anxieties. This research shows that parental involvement in medication administration can enhance the effectiveness of premedication and create a more positive experience for the child.
