Abstract

Purpose : We reported previously that intramuscular ketamine with adjunctive midazolam is more effective than ketamine alone in pediatric procedural sedation, but with limited satisfactory sedation by suboptimal ketamine dose. The optimal dose of intramuscular ketamine in children has never been studied in Korea. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness and adverse events of ketamine 4mg/kg with adjunctive midazolam in pediatric laceration repair. Methods : From Jan. 2005 to July 2005, we enrolled 60 children, aged 3 months-7 years, who needed laceration repair under sedation. After verbal consent from parents, patients were randomly assigned to KMA group(IM ketamine 4 mg/kg＋atropine 0.01 mg/kg＋intramuscular midazolam 0.05 mg/kg) or KA group(without midazolam). We compared both groups with the induction time, recovery time, total sedation time, efficacy of sedation, adverse effects, and the satisfaction score of treating physicians. Results : Potentially confounding variables, age, weight, injury site and anxiety score, were similar between groups. The induction time, recovery time and total sedation time were not different statistically. In KMA group, 90.9 percent of patients showed satisfactory sedation compared to 66.7 percent of KA group(P=0.02) and the occurrence rate of significant adverse effect was 0.0 percent and 37.0 percent respectively. Conclusion : We found adjunctive midazolam with ketamine doses of 4 mg/kg IM produced more effective, satisfactory sedation and less adverse effect than without midazolam in pediatric laceration repair. The emergence phenomenon(agitation during recovery) only occurred in 9 KA group patients. In spite of adverse effect, all patients recovered, were discharged and there were no reported delayed events.

목 적 : 소아의 통증을 수반하는 술기의 시술시에 진통, 진정을 위해 ketamine을 사용하는데, midazolam을 병용 투여 할 필요가 있는가에 대한 논의가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. ketamine의 근육주사의 적정용량은 국내에서 연구된 바가 없으며 저자들은 이전 연구에서 ketamine 3 mg/kg가 부족하다는 결론을 얻어 용량을 4 mg/kg로 증량하여 KMA(ketamine+midazolam+atropine)와 KA(ketamine+atropine)의 진정 및 부작용 발생여부의 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2005년 1월부터 2005년 7월까지 열상처치 시 진정이 필요한 생후 3개월에서 7세까지의 60명의 소아를 대상으로 KMA군(IM ketamine 4 mg/kg+atropine 0.01 mg/kg+intramuscular midazolam 0.05 mg/kg) 혹은 KA 군(without midazolam)을 무작위로 선택하여 anxiety/tolerance scores, 합병증, 진정정도, 진정유도시간, 진정회복시간, 총 진정시간, 시술자의 만족도를 기록하였다. 결 과 : 두 군간에 성비, 체중, 연령, 상처 부위에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으며anxiety/tolerance score, 진정유도시간, 진정회복시간, 총 진정시간에는 두 군간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 효과적 진정을 보인 경우가 KA군은 66.7%, KMA군은 90.9%로 KMA군이 진정에 보다 효과적이었으며(P=0.02), 시술자의 만족도는 KA군은 55.6%, KMA군은 90.9%로 만족, 매우 만족 이상으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 의미 있는 부작용의 발생은 KA군은 37.0%, KMA군은 0.0%였다. 결 론 : 소아의 피부 열상 봉합 시 진정을 위해 근육주사를 통한 ketamine 4 mg/kg과 midazolam 및 atropine의 병용 투여는 ketamine과 atropine만을 투여하는 것보다 안전하고 효과적으로 진정을 유도할 뿐 아니라 시술자의 만족도를 높일 수 있다.
