Figure 6 ; Effective dosage of midazolam in 95% of each age group (ED95) required to erase the memory of injection pain calculated by logistic regression analysis. ED95 was 0.061 (95% CI, 0.047–0.304) mg/kg in patients in their 30s, 0.049 (95% CI, 0.038–0.163) mg/kg in patients in their 40s, 0.033 (95% CI, 0.028–0.067) mg/kg in patients in their 50s, and 0.033 (95% CI, 0.027–0.085) mg/kg in patients in their 60s. The left end of the graph indicates the lower end of 95% CI and the right end indicates the upper end of 95% CI. The amount of midazolam required to erase the memory of injection pain demonstrated a downward trend with age, although there were no significant differences among the 4 groups.

midazolam in 95% of each group (ED 95 ). A P value of <.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. We also conducted an assessment using an ROC curve to investigate cutoff values for the level of sedation required to erase memories of propofol vascular pain on injection. RESULTS A flow diagram of the conduct of the study is shown in Figure 1 . Of the 261 patients who were initially assessed, 246 patients were allocated to 4 groups according to their age, and 102 patients successfully completed the study without any

The consecutive dose of midazolam according to the up-down method for patients in their 30s. The number of patients required to get the 15th crossover point (•→○ or ○→•) was 28. If memories of injection pain remained (•), the dosage was increased by 0.01 mg/kg for the next patient, and then if memories were erased (○), the dosage was decreased by 0.01 mg/kg.

more prevalent in the younger age group; however, intranasal dexmedetomidine diminished agitation as compared with the control in a dose-dependent fashion for both age groups. The ED 95 was 1.99 μg/kg (95% confidence interval 1.83–3.8) in children younger than 3 years and 1.78 μg/kg (95% confidence interval 0.93–4.29) in children at least 3 years of age. The ED 95 was also noted to decrease as the age of the child increased. Comment: The 2 major age groups in this study were chosen because children aged 3 years or younger comprised more than 20% of
