Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate the effects of rectal midazolam sedation on the cystometry urodynamic procedure in this study by retrospectively comparing the cases that had received and not received sedation before the cystometry procedure.
Material and Methods: Twenty children who underwent cystometric evaluation with and without midazolam administration were retrospectively investigated from the hospital records between 01 January 2014 and 31 December 2016. We compared cystometry measurement values of patients with and without sedation.
Results: 20 cases (15 female, 5 male) were evaluated in our study. The mean age was 8.65±2.56 years. Comparison of the cystometry results with or without sedation in this patient group revealed no significant difference between the parameters (p>0.01). The parents of the patients were asked about their satisfaction and a statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p>0.01).
Conclusion: We believe that sedation with rectal midazolam is a safe, effective and convenient option during cystometry, especially in the young age group. We did not find midazolam to cause any effect on cystometry data in this study
