NES has created this training video at the request of the Scottish Government. It discusses what to do when a patient has a prolonged seizure and requires Midazolam. It demonstrates how to draw up Midazolam from a glass vial of 10mg in 2ml solution and how to administer this into the buccal sulcus, using an oral syringe. It also highlights the variation in dosage for different aged patients
