Pharmacological premedication is preparing a patient for anesthesia (resp. surgery). Premedication should follow the development
of anesthesia. There are a lot of bad practices from the past witch already have no place in our hospitals. There were many goals premedication
with regard to side effects of anesthesia. Today is main aim of inducing anxiolysis. Preoperative psychological condition causes
a number of problems – circulating dysregulation (e. g. tachycardia), disorders of breathing, postoperative analgetics consumption. PONV
(Post Operative Nausea and Vomiting) is often associated with fear and stress. Last but not least salivation and bradycardia prevention
is optional in special cases. The most commonly used drug for premedication in children and adolescents is midazolam.
