The Use of Diazepam in Paediatric Premedication

A. ROMAGNOLI M.D.1, S. CUISON M.D.1, and M. COHEN M.D.1

1 Department of Anaesthesia, Jewish General Hospital, Montreal, Quebec

Diazepam and meperidine were compared in a double-blind study for pre-operative medication in 250 children undergoing tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies. Preoperatively, diazepam could produce sedation, co-operation, and sleep, but none of these effects was evident postoperatively. No side-effects of this drug were encountered. A meperidine-atropine-pentobarbital combination was also found effective. The over-all comparison favoured diazepam clinically but not statistically.
