Comparative Evaluation of Oral and Intranasal Administration of Midazolam as Preanesthetic Medication in Pediatric Dental Patients Treated under General Anesthesia

Midazolam is commonly used as a preanesthetic medication for behavior management of children. The current study is conducted to find out the effect of midazolam through nasal and oral routes as a premedicament in pediatric patients treated under general anesthesia. The main aims of the study were: to compare the effect of oral syrup and intranasal spray as preanesthetic medication; to record the undesirable side effects of midazolam by both routes.
