About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Laceration focused on measuring Dexmedetomidine, Midazolam

Eligibility Criteria

1 Year - 5 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Presenting to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
  • Laceration <5 cm in total length
  • Require simple suture laceration repair

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Allergies/intolerance/contraindication to the study drugs
  • Lacerations requiring complex (multilayer) repair or total laceration length>5cm

Sites / Locations

  • Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Dexmedetomidine

Midazolam

Arm Description

Intranasal Dexmedetomidine 2 micrograms/kilogram once

Intranasal Midazolam 0.4 milligram/kilogram

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

mYPAS Score as Completed by Researchers to Assess Anxiety
Primary outcome was the mYPAS scores at the time of positioning for procedure. mYPAS stands for modified Yale Preoperative anxiety scale. The scale is from minimum 23.3- maximum 100. Higher scores indicate higher anxiety. By prior characterization, scores less than or equal to 30 are classified as not anxious.

Secondary Outcome Measures

mYPAS Scores at Other Time Points
mYPAS stands for modified Yale Preoperative anxiety scale. The scale is from minimum 23.3- maximum 100. Higher scores indicate higher anxiety. By prior characterization, scores less than or equal to 30 are classified as not anxious.
VAS for Anxiety as Completed by Caregiver and Observer
VAS, Visual Analog Scale for anxiety. Scale from 0-10 written on a 10 cm horizontal line with the extremes labeled as no anxiety to very anxious. Vertical line is drawn on the scale at the level of anxiety. The distance was measured. Higher numbers equal higher anxiety.
