Conditions

Procedural Sedation and Analgesia During Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy

Brief summary

Group I :The patients will receive midazolam intravenously (i.v.) in a dose of 0.05 mg/kg diluted by 50ml saline over 10 minutes using syringe pump plus 1 mg/kg ketamine (iv). Group II : The patients will receive Dexmedetomidine intravenously (i.v.) in a dose of 2mic/kg diluted by 50ml saline over 10 minutes using syringe pump plus 1 mg/kg ketamine (iv). The objective of this study to evaluate the clinical effects, adverse effects and recovery time of two different sedative agents (midazolam and Dexmedetomidine) combined with ketamine during conscious sedation for child patient with haematological cancer undergoing BMA &biopsy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
efficacy of drug mixture on procedural sedation and analgesia: Ramsay sedation scorewithin the time of the procedure of bone marrow aspirate and biopsyto assess efficacy of procedural sedation and analgesia with drug mixture;using Ramsay sedation score. Ramsay score 1. Nervous, agitated, and/or restless. 2. Cooperative, orientated, quite patient. 3. Only obeying orders. 4. Sleeping, hitting the glabella, and responding to high voice suddenly 5. Sleeping, hitting the glabella, and responding to high voice slowly 6. No response to any of these stimulations Dexemeditomidine and midazolam will be started 2 minutes before procedure through a peripheral venous cannula and continued as maintainance, then ketamine will be administered over 10-20 s aiming to achieve a sedation level of 3 or 4 on Ramsay scale to start the procedure.
