The Effects of Single-dose Rectal Midazolam Application on Post-operative Recovery

Summary

This study aimed to compare the efficiency of rectal midazolam addition after applying bupivacaine and caudal anesthesia on postoperative analgesia time, the need for additional analgesics, postoperative recovery, sedation, and to find out its adverse effects in children having lower abdominal surgery.
