AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background And Aims: The perioperative behavioural studies demonstrate that children are at greater risk of experiencing turbulent anaesthetic induction and adverse behavioural sequelae. We aimed to compare the efficacy of midazolam 0.5 mg/kg with triclofos sodium 100 mg/kg as oral premedication in children undergoing elective surgery.
Methods: In this prospective, randomised and double-blind study, sixty children posted for elective lower abdominal surgery were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into midazolam group (Group M) and triclofos sodium group (Group T) of thirty each. Group M received oral midazolam 0.5 mg/kg 30 min before induction, and Group T received oral triclofos sodium 100 mg/kg 60 min before induction. All children were evaluated for level of sedation after premedication, behaviour at the time of separation from parents and at the time of mask placement for induction of anaesthesia. Mann-Whitney U-test was used for comparing the grade of sedation, ease of separation and acceptance of face mask.
Results: Oral midazolam produced adequate sedation in children after premedication in comparison to oral triclofos (P = 0.002). Both drugs produced successful separation from parents, and the children were very cooperative during induction. No adverse effects attributable to the premedicants were seen.
Conclusions: Oral midazolam is superior to triclofos sodium as a sedative anxiolytic in paediatric population.

Melatonin and Triclofos Sodium to Execute Sleep Electroencephalography in Pediatric Patients: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Alongside a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Indian J Pediatr

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Poona College of Pharmacy, Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to Be University), Pune, Maharashtra, 411038, India.
Objectives: To evaluate cost-effectiveness between oral sedatives melatonin and triclofos sodium used to perform sleep electroencephalography (EEG) in pediatric patients and develop a criterion for resource allocation by the institution.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted alongside the randomized controlled trial conducted at a tertiary care hospital, wherein pediatric patients arriving for sleep EEG were randomized to receive melatonin dosed at 0.3 mg/kg (< 10 kg), 3 mg (10-15 kg), and 6 mg (> 15 kg) and triclofos at 50 mg/kg (maximum dose 1 g, 6 mo to 11 y; 2 g, 11 to 18 y) after due consent.

Department of Pharmacoepidemiology, Graduate School of Medicine and Public Health, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Worldwide, pediatric sedation for magnetic resonance imaging is a standard practice; however, there are few studies on its trends and patterns.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the trends and patterns of pediatric sedation for magnetic resonance imaging in Japan and determine the incidence of and risk factors for adverse events/interventions.
Methods: This longitudinal descriptive study assessed children (age < 15 years) who underwent sedation for magnetic resonance imaging between April 2012 and December 2019 in Japan using a nationwide claims database.
Intranasal dexmedetomidine vs oral triclofos sodium for sedation of children with autism undergoing electroencephalograms.

Background: Sedation may be necessary for performing electroencephalograms in children with autistic spectrum disorder, however, our sedation success rate using triclofos sodium (TFS) is limited. Intra-nasal dexmedetomidine (IN-DEX) may be a superior sedative for these children.
Objective: Compare IN-DEX with TFS for sedation efficacy, resistance to drug delivery and adverse events in children with autism undergoing an electroencephalogram.

Background: The success rate of sedation with triclofos sodium and midazolam for pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported. However, there are no reports of an association of adverse events and examination success rates with patient medical backgrounds using a combination of these sedatives. We performed this study to investigate these points.

Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, 4920235, Petach Tikva, Israel.
Aim: Triclofos sodium (TFS) has been used for many years in children as a sedative for painless medical procedures. It is physiologically and pharmacologically similar to chloral hydrate, which has been censured for use in children with neurocognitive disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of TFS sedation in a pediatric population with a high rate of neurocognitive disability.
