Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of a combination of intranasal fentanyl and intranasal midazolam to intranasal midazolam alone for analgesia and anxiolysis in patients presenting for facial laceration repair in the pediatric emergency department.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will be a single blind (blinded observer) randomized control trial to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of intranasal fentanyl and intranasal midazolam compared to intranasal midazolam alone for analgesia and anxiolysis during pediatric facial laceration repair.

QUADRUPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
A non-blinded researcher (physician) will determine the group to which the patient is assigned and order the medication(s) according to the assigned group. A separate blinded researcher (physician) will then perform the laceration repair, mYPAS, and post-procedure evaluations. The non-blinded researcher, nurse, parent, and patient will be advised not to disclose which medication(s) were administered to ensure blinding of the provider performing the laceration repair and assessment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intranasal Midazolam and Intranasal Fentanyl

Study participants assigned to the combination (experimental) group will receive a weight-based dose of intranasal Fentanyl (50mcg/mL concentration at 2mcg/kg up to 100mcg) followed by intranasal Midazolam (5mg/mL concentration at 0.2mg/kg up to 10mg) using a mucosal atomizer device (1mL syringe with an attached atomizer).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intranasal Fentanyl Spray and Intranasal Midazolam Spray

Intranasal Midazolam

Study participants assigned to the control (active comparator) group will receive only intranasal Midazolam (5mg/mL concentration at 0.3mg/kg up to 10mg) using a mucosal atomizer device (1mL syringe with an attached atomizer).
