Midazolam 0.25 mg\/kg, midazolam 0.5 mg\/kg, diazepam 0.5 mg\/kg or a placebo was given orally one hour prior to anaesthesia. Patient state was assessed at nine stages, from administration of the premedication up to and including induction of anaesthesia, using a four-point behavioural scale. Patient state was also assessed postoperatively in the recovery area and the day-stay ward. There was no difference between the four groups until induction of anaesthesia. At this stage 82% of children were either asleep or awake and calm. Patients who received midazolam 0.5 mg\/kg were more likely to be asleep or awake and calm at induction rather than other groups (P= 0.05). Children receiving midazolam 0.5 mg\/kg or diazepam 0.5 mg\/kg slept longest in the post anaesthetic recovery room (P &lt; 0.005), and spent most time there (P &lt;. 005). There was no difference between groups in the length of time spent in the day-stay ward or in the number of overnight admissions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The study shows that a high proportion of unsedated children are calm at induction of anaesthesia and that oral midazolam is an effective premedication in children for day-stay anaesthesia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0310057x9202000102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,16]],"date-time":"2019-01-16T03:51:49Z","timestamp":1547610709000},"page":"9-14","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":71,"title":["Oral Midazolam is an Effective Premedication for Children Having Day-Stay Anaesthesia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"S.
