First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 37 times
Summary
This study compares two sedative drugs—dexmedetomidine and midazolam—in children on breathing machines. The goal is to see which one causes less delirium (a type of temporary brain confusion) and leads to better recovery. About 372 children under 11 years old will take part. The findings could change how doctors sedate young patients in intensive care.
