| Popis: | Objective. A total of 1112 pediatric outpatient sedations, by either nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation (N 2 O) or oral midazolam, administered over a 10-year period were reviewed. Patient responses and outcomes were evaluated to ascertain the safety of these sedation techniques. Study Design. A total of 819 patients were included in this study. Patient health status, age, weight, behavior, treatment rendered, and length of treatment were recorded. Vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation) were recorded for the N 2 O group. Complications and successful completion of treatment were also noted. Results. Both the N 2 O and midazolam groups demonstrated a low complication rate with a high rate of successful completion of treatment. Patients receiving N 2 O were somewhat older on average and underwent a greater number of surgical procedures than patients in the midazolam group. Vital signs recorded in the N 2 O group were observed to remain stable throughout treatment. Conclusions. The use of either oral midazolam or nitrous oxide-oxygen as single agents provides safe and effective conscious sedation in the pediatric outpatient population.
