Summary

This completed Phase 4 trial at Mayo Clinic tested 21 healthy adults to find the highest skin-testing concentrations of midazolam, ketamine, and ondansetron that do not cause irritation. These drugs are commonly used before, during, and after surgery. The goal is to improve allergy testing accuracy for patients who may have life-threatening reactions during anesthesia.
