Joo EY, Kim YJ, Park YS, et al. - By analyzing the medical records of pediatric patients who received sedation for electroencephalography between January 2015 and December 2016, researchers performed a comparison between intramuscular dexmedetomidine vs oral chloral hydrate in terms of efficacy and safety for sedation during electroencephalography in pediatric patients. According to the findings, higher sedation success rate and shorter time to achieving the desired sedation level were afforded by intramuscular dexmedetomidine vs oral chloral hydrate. Therefore, intramuscular dexmedetomidine may serve as an effective alternative for oral chloral hydrate in such a pediatric population.
