Abstract

           In the child since 6 months to 4 years for age was difficult to measurement due to not cooperated in echocardiography procedure. In the routinely of pediatric echocardiography department, Ramathibodi Hospital, they was underwent sedated by Chloral hydrate syrup concentrated 100 mg/ml. The method of calculated drug volume used 50 mg/kg/dose or Body weight /2. (Maximum dose: Not greater than 1,000 mg/dose.

           This retrospectively research, aim to study result of drug volume in 51 child 12.2 + 6.3 month for age, Body weight 9.17 + 1.69 kg. since January 2014 – January 2020 underwent sedated by Chloral hydrate syrup were done in simple method, Spearman correlation was used to analyze. In the result, We occurred 74% with in 50.3 + 28.3 minute of population was well sleep in single dose, 26% need to repeated medication (Double dose 22% and triple dose 4%). Very small group of side effect consisted of secretion obstruction 3.9%, Skin rash 1.9%, not occurred over maximum dose.

           The onset of action correlated with age significantly (rs 0.39, sig. < 0.05).
