contents Administration of midazolam as sedative premedication for paediatric patients Lina Kalibatienė Andrius Macas Laura Lukošienė Vytautas Ragaišis Ričardas Kubilius Medicina midazolam parental presence presurgical preparation programs Preanesthetic and presurgery anxiety The paper aims to discuss effective presurgical modalities for reducing preanesthetic and preoperative anxiety in children. It reviews the existing research on psychological interventions and sedative premedication for presurgical anxiety management. Psychological and behavioural preoperative preparation of children, through presurgical preparation programs, combined with parental presence during induction of anaesthesia are regarded as alternatives to sedative premedication. A combination of these preparation strategies with midazolam premedication is presented as an effective way of helping children cope with preanesthetic and preoperative anxiety. It is highlighted that the use of low dose midazolam is sufficiently safe and beneficial if alternatives to sedative premedication prove ineffective, especially when dealing with increased feelings of anxiety immediately before anesthesia and the surgery. 2012 artículo científico 2029-4174 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=694074047032 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6940 Acta medica Lituanica application/pdf Vilniaus Universitetas Acta medica Lituanica (Lituania) Num.3 Vol.19
