Distraction can be very effective in helping to control pain; however, it must be appropriate to the child's developmental level.

It is appropriate for mild to moderate pain, but it is not adequate for this patient. Midazolam (Versed) is a short-acting drug used for conscious sedation, for preoperative sedation, and as an induction agent for general anesthesia.
