Comparing sedation medicines for burned children during procedures
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different sedation medicine combinations to see which one reduces confusion and agitation (called delirium) when children with burn injuries need procedures done. The goal is to find the safest, most comfortable option for your child during treatment.

This trial compares two combinations of sedative medicines (dexmedetomidine with midazolam versus ketamine with midazolam) to see which better prevents confusion or agitation when a child wakes up after a heart catheterization procedure. It may help your child recover more calmly.
This study tests a drug called dexmedetomidine to help sedate children who need a breathing machine for more than 12 hours. It may reduce confusion (delirium) compared to usual sedatives.
This study compares two medicines to see which works better at preventing agitation and restlessness when children wake up from surgery with a common anesthetic. The goal is to help children recover more calmly and comfortably.
This study looks at whether dexmedetomidine changes the minimum amount of sevoflurane (an inhaled anesthesia medicine) needed during surgery in young children. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate anesthesia dosing for kids undergoing surgery.
This study compares two different combinations of sedative medicines to see which one works better for adults who need a short procedure in the emergency department while awake but relaxed. It aims to find a safer and more comfortable way to keep patients calm during procedures lasting under 30 minutes.
This study tests whether giving a calming medicine before general anesthesia improves how children feel and experience anesthesia afterward. The goal is to see which pre-surgery approach works best and is comfortable for kids.
