Objective: A pre-anesthetic medication that is ideal for pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy should alleviate pediatric anxiety, facilitate the smooth induction of anesthesia, and have an analgesic effect for postoperative care. This study compared the effectiveness of an oral combination of midazolam and ketamine (MK) with an oral combination of chloral hydrate and meperidine (CM) as premedication in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy.
Methods: This double-blind clinical trial study was conducted with 68 pediatric patients scheduled to undergo tonsillectomy.

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) is usually diagnosed by transthoracic or fetal echocardiography, with the prenatal diagnosis being feasible and accurate if fetal cardiology services are available. The limitations of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the evaluation of PA-VSD include the complete evaluation of the pulmonary arteries and patent ductus arteriosus, quantitative evaluation of the right ventricle size and function, and delineation of associated cardiac anomalies such as coronary artery anomalies, anomalies of systemic or pulmonary venous return, and complex arch anomalies. Echocardiography also has limitations in evaluating hemodynamics such as flow volumes, shunts, and regurgitant fraction.

The prevalent use of systemic treatments, with their frequent substantial side effects, emphasizes the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Our aim is to explore the efficacy and adherence with a topical drug regimen delivered through a neurosensory stent (NS) for treating chronic neuropathic pain (NP) within the oral cavity.
