Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of effects of intravenous midazolam and ketamine on emergence agitation in children: Randomized controlled trial.
A prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of preoperative midazolam or ketamine on the incidence of emergence agitation (EA) following sevoflurane anaesthesia in children. ⋯ Premedication with ketamine is more effective than midazolam in preventing EA during the early emergence period after sevoflurane anaesthesia in children.
