Intranasal and intravenous sedation with midazolam in a child with special needs – a case report

The dental profession should be concerned with providing a quality of care for people with disability that is equitable to that of the patient with no disability. This report describes the management of an avulsed upper central incisor in an 8-year-old girl with cerebral palsy and hearing impairment. Conscious sedation, using midazolam was administered intranasally and intravenously. Treatment was provided within the primary care setting by a skilled and experienced operator with all necessary facilities required for conscious sedation in children. It is important to recognise that practitioners providing such techniques should do so only within their individual level of knowledge, skill and experience and commensurate with the particular procedure planned. This novel technique was shown to be effective and safe in this case of a child with cerebral palsy, epilepsy and hearing impairment.

Key words: Conscious sedation, midazolam; special needs, trauma, cerebral palsy
