“…1 In anaesthetic applications in paediatric patients, oral midazolam is reported in a wide range of 0.2-1 mg kg À1 . 15 Day et al 16 reported that in the high-anxiety level group aged 2.9 AE 1.6 a dose of 0.2-0.3 mg kg À1 and in the age group 5 AE 1 a dose of 0.5-0.7 mg kg À1 midazolam is appropriate for sedative premedication. In the second group of our study, 0.7 mg kg À1 midazolam was applied.…”

However, previous studies have shown contradictory effects of oral midazolam premedication on the quality of recovery from sevoflurane-induced anesthesia [5][6][7].…”
