A prospective, randomized study comparing intramuscular midazolam with intravenous diazepam for the treatment of seizures in children

Abstract

IM midazolam is an effective anticonvulsant for children with motor seizures. Compared to IV diazepam, IM midazolam results in more rapid cessation of seizures because of more rapid administration. The IM route of administration may be particularly useful in physicians' offices, in the prehospital setting, and for children with difficult IV access.
