As long as the patient is in the PICU, Midazolam (Dormicum) is probably a good option.
Limited data available in non-intubated infants; infants <6 months are at higher risk for airway obstruction and hypoventilation; titrate dose with small increments to desired clinical effect; monitor carefully.
Sedation, anxiolysis, and amnesia prior to procedure or before induction of anesthesia: IV: Initial: 0.05 to 0.1 mg/kg
