The caffeine breath test is a non-invasive method of studying CYP1A2 activity that is suitable for children from the ages of 3 years upwards. It involves the oral administration of a stable isotope and the collection of breath samples for a period of 2 hours. Breath samples are analysed by continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry. It has been used to study both drug interactions and the effect of disease on drug metabolism.

Objective: To evaluate the use and safety of intranasal midazolam when used as first-line treatment for children with acute seizures. Study design: Prospective study of 20 children over the age of six months presenting with an acute seizure to the emergency department of a 70-bed children’s hospital in the UK. All children were treated with intranasal midazolam in a dose of 200 micrograms/kg. Efficacy and toxicity were assessed. Results: Midazolam controlled the seizure within 15 minutes in 10 patients (50%). A further five patients (25%) showed a partial response. Five children showed no response to midazolam. No adverse reactions were seen. Conclusion: This efficacy rate is lower than that shown in other studies. All studies to date have been small. It is suggested that larger, controlled studies are required to establish the place of midazolam, and alternative routes of administration, such as the intranasal route, in the treatment of children with acute seizures.
