[Intranasal administration of midazolam (Dormicum) in young children in emergency medicine].

A method for sedation of preschool children in emergency medicine is presented. Midazolam (Dormicum) is frequently used in premedication in children. Various routes of administration have been described for this drug. After use of nasal administration of midazolam for premedication we also used this method for sedation of children in emergencies. This technique provides rapid onset and cardiovascular stability while maintaining spontaneous ventilation. In two case reports the first results are demonstrated; the method is evaluated and discussed.
