Effects of hydroxyzine–midazolam premedication on sevoflurane-induced paediatric emergence agitation

Abstract

The incidence of sevoflurane-induced emergence agitation was significantly lower in children premedicated with a midazolam and hydroxyzine combination compared to those premedicated with midazolam only. Furthermore, the midazolam and hydroxyzine combination provided better premedication quality than midazolam alone.
