4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary objective of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effects of oral sedation using midazolam and hydroxyzine with and without meperidine (a narcotic) on sedation outcomes in pediatric dental patients undergoing dental treatment at the University of Washington Center for Pediatric Dentistry. Procedural sedation can be offered as an option for dental treatment for a young, potentially uncooperative pediatric patient to safely and effectively complete dental restorative needs. Both sedation regimens are already regularly used for patients at the UW CPD. The goal of this study is to assess if removing a narcotic from the regimen will produce the same behavioral success outcomes as a regimen with a narcotic. Our hypothesis is that patients who receive oral sedation using midazolam, hydroxyzine, and meperidine will experience fewer behavioral failures than those who receive oral sedation using midazolam and hydroxyzine without meperidine. The secondary objective of this project is to evaluate the relationship between child temperament and sedation outcome in each treatment group.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of nitrous oxide/oxygen administration in reducing the discomfort of intranasal midazolam administration for moderate sedation for dental procedures.
This study will compare the post sedation events from three different multi-drug oral sedation regimens in order to help pediatric dentists determine the best course of action for their patients and prepare parents appropriately and caution them about the expected effects. Patients will be evaluated for adverse effects within two time periods at 8 and 24 hours post oral sedation procedure using surveys.
Hypothesis The use of Isolite® system does not produce upper airway obstruction in the pediatric population during dental treatment with conscious sedation. Purpose: Report the changes in airway patency and pediatric patient's behavior when Isolite® system is used for dental treatment with conscious sedation. Objectives: 1. Determine changes in pulse rate 2. Determine changes in SpO2 3. Recognize breath sound's changes possibly associated with airway blockage 4. Evaluate if the isolite® system is well tolerate by the pediatric population for dental treatment under conscious sedation 5. Relate the use of Isolite® with the frequency of head reposition to open the airway.
