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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two different doses of the sedative midazolam, along with another medicine called dexmedetomidine, to help children relax before surgery. It aims to find the safest and most effective dose for kids having short, planned procedures.
This study compares two medicines (Ketofol and dexmedetomidine) to see which better prevents confusion and agitation when children wake up from squint eye surgery. The goal is to find a safer, more comfortable recovery for your child.
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 compares two sedative medications, ketamine and dexmedetomidine, given through an IV to treat delirium (confusion) in patients with acute heart failure in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see which drug is more effective and safer for reducing delirium symptoms.
This study tests whether a sedative medication called dexmedetomidine can reduce confusion and delirium in children who need mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to see if it works better and safer than standard sedatives.
This study tests a “goal-directed” approach to sedation (giving the right amount based on target goals) for children who need a breathing machine in the pediatric ICU. The goal is to reduce brain and recovery side effects while keeping children comfortable and safe.
