We compared cystometry measurement values of patients with and without sedation.Results: 20 cases (15 female, 5 male) were evaluated in our study. The mean age was 8.65±2.56 years. Comparison of the cystometry results with or without sedation in this patient group revealed no significant difference between the parameters (p>0.01). The parents of the patients were asked about their satisfaction and a statistically significant difference was found between the groups (p>0.01). Conclusion: We believe that sedation with rectal midazolam is a safe, effective and convenient option during cystometry, especially in the young age group. We did not find midazolam to cause any effect on cystometry data in this study}, number={3}, publisher={T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı Ankara Şehir Hastanesi}
