Why the study?
Does oral ketamine/midazolam improve sedation efficacy and tolerance compared to IM meperidine, promethazine, and chlorpromazine in children undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Does oral ketamine/midazolam improve sedation efficacy and tolerance compared to IM meperidine, promethazine, and chlorpromazine in children undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Oral ketamine/midazolam provides superior sedation, faster onset, and better amnesia compared to IM DPT for pediatric cardiac catheterization, though airway support may occasionally be required.

Supports preferring oral ketamine/midazolam over IM DPT for pediatric cardiac catheterization sedation; extends RCT evidence for non-invasive regimens.
Auden et al. (2000) studied this question.
