Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis reviewed the effectiveness and safety of dexmedetomidine, midazolam, and chloral hydrate for sedating pediatric patients undergoing MRI and CT, involving 633 patients across six studies.
- *Dexmedetomidine showed higher sedation success rates compared to midazolam, while chloral hydrate also outperformed midazolam; however, dexmedetomidine and chloral hydrate had similar efficacy.
- *Although dexmedetomidine had a higher risk of bradycardia, there was no significant difference in nausea or vomiting among the three sedatives, highlighting the need for careful monitoring during administration.
