Volumes of Administration for Intranasal Midazolam
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Children Requiring Sedation to Facilitate Laceration Repair
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine exactly how much drug volume should be administered into each nare, so that the drug absorption can be maximized and the amount that runs out of the nose, or is swallowed, is minimized, thereby optimizing the effectiveness of any drug given intranasally. The investigators will determine this ideal "volume of administration" by studying intranasal midazolam in children who require sedation to facilitate laceration repairs. The investigators will evaluate both clinical outcomes as well as pharmacokinetic outcomes associated with each volume of administration. We will block randomize children to receive intranasal midazolam in maximum aliquots of one of the three following VOA: 200 microliters (mcL), 500 mcL, or 1000 mcL.
