NCT ID NCT07519863
First seen Apr 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study compares two sedation approaches for children aged 3 to 16 who need deep sedation for burn-related procedures like dressing changes. One group gets a mix of midazolam and ketamine, the other gets dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see which method better prevents emergence delirium—a state of confusion and agitation right after waking up. The trial is currently recruiting 60 participants.
