To describe triazolam in pediatric dental mild to moderate sedation and report changes to overall visit behavior for permanent first molar extraction. This retrospective chart review from 2018 to 2022 analyzed demographic, procedural, and behavioral data for children eight years and older receiving triazolam for a permanent first molar extraction. The outcomes included adverse events measured by deviations in heart rate and oxygen saturation and changes to overall visit-level Frankl scores from the referral to sedation visit. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric statistical analyses were conducted. The study population (n equals 82) was predominantly female (61 percent), English-speaking (85 percent), and White (41 percent) or Black (39 percent). The most common indication for mild to moderate sedation was dental anxiety (28 percent). There were zero instances of adverse events requiring emergency intervention or the use of reversal medication. The change in visit-level Frankl scores was significantly positive (P<0.001). Triazolam is likely a safe choice for mild to moderate sedation, leading to improved overall visit behavior in children undergoing a permanent first molar extraction.

Introduction: This guideline establishes clinical practice recommendations for treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) in adults and pediatric patients.
Methods: The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) commissioned a task force of experts in sleep medicine to develop recommendations and assign strengths based on a systematic review of the literature and an assessment of the evidence using the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation methodology. The task force provided a summary of the relevant literature and the certainty of evidence, the balance of benefits and harms, patient values and preferences, and resource use considerations that support the recommendations.

Introduction: Therapeutic rest refers to the usage of medication to relieve pain in women in the latent phase of labor. Very few data are available to evaluate the safety and effect of its use. The objectives of this study were to compare perinatal and labor outcomes in women who were seeking hospital care during the latent phase of labor and who were treated either with or without therapeutic rest.

Background: Concerns about the safety of pediatric oral sedation and the incremental use of triazolam in adults prompted a workshop cosponsored by several professional organizations.
Overview: There is a strong need and demand for adult and pediatric sedation services. Using oral medication to achieve anxiolysis in adults appears to have a wide margin of safety.
Anxiolytic-like action in mice treated with nitrous oxide and oral triazolam or diazepam.

Few animal studies have explored the interaction of nitrous oxide (N2O) with a benzodiazepine (BNZ) administered by the oral route, as used in clinical procedures involving "conscious sedation". The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative "anxiolytic-like" and sedative effectiveness of N2O, oral triazolam (TRIAZ; Halcion) or oral diazepam (DIAZ; Valium), either alone or in various combinations of drugs and doses. One hundred and twelve Swiss Webster male mice, 35-45 days old, were assigned to 28 groups, each of which contained four mice.
