Abstract
Aim:
To compare the clinical efficacy of two routes of midazolam intranasal vs. intravenous, in relation to intravenous diazepam for control of seizures.
Methods:
A prospective randomized study conducted on 150 convulsing patients of 0-19 years of age hospitalized in pediatric emergency ward and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Group-I was given intranasal midazolam at 0.3 mg /kg, Group-II was given intravenous midazolam at 0.3mg/kg and Group-III was given intravenous diazepam at 0.3 mg /kg. Outcome was measured in terms of time taken from physician contact to drug administration and the time taken from drug administration to cessation of seizures.
Results:
Mean time from physician contact to drug administration was significantly shorter with intranasal midazolam as compared to intravenous midazolam and intravenous diazepam (0.40±0.10min vs. 1.06±0.40 min and 1.06±40 min) (p-0.03). Mean time from drug administration to cessation of seizures was lesser in midazolam (1.6 ± 0.3mins(IN) and 1.6±0.3min(IV) as compared to diazepam (2.26±0.6 min) (p-0.06). However this difference was statistically insignificant. The vital parameters or oxygen saturation did not reveal any statistically significant difference between the three groups.
Conclusion:
Seizure control was most prompt with intranasal midazolam.
