    Summary

    Children with leukemia undergoing bone marrow punctures preferred midazolam with EMLA cream over ketamine with placebo for sedation. Both sedation methods had unpleasant side effects, and midazolam/EMLA raised concerns about anxiety and restraint.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Anesthesiology
    • Oncology Nursing
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Bone marrow punctures are common in pediatric leukemia treatment.
    • Effective procedural sedation is crucial for minimizing patient distress.
    • Comparing sedation options is essential for optimizing care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and patient preference of ketamine/placebo versus midazolam/EMLA for sedation during bone marrow punctures in children with leukemia.

    Main Methods:

    • Double-blind, randomized, crossover study design.
    • Involved 13 pediatric leukemia patients.
    • Compared ketamine with topical placebo versus midazolam with topical lidocaine-prilocaine cream (EMLA).

    Main Results:

    • Children significantly preferred midazolam and EMLA cream for sedation.
    • Parents and nursing staff expressed concerns regarding anxiety and physical restraint with midazolam/EMLA.
    • Both sedation regimens were associated with various side effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Midazolam combined with EMLA cream is the preferred sedation method for pediatric bone marrow punctures based on patient preference.
    • Sedation strategies require careful consideration of patient comfort, procedural requirements, and potential adverse effects.
