Sedation for local anaesthesia. Comparison of intravenous midazolam and diazepam

Abstract: Intravenous midazolam and diazepam have been compared as sedatives during surgery pevormed under local anaesthesia. Satisfactory conditions were produced by both drugs. No dwference was detected in the rate of recovery, but a highly significant greater degree of amnesia followed the use of midarolam.

“…However, the quality of amnesia was consistently better as determined by recall testing after the use of midazolam and lasted up to 30 minutes as compared to only 10 minutes after the use of diazepam, which is in agreement with previous studies. 19,22,37,38 A number of clinically relevant differences were noted between the two drugs. The authors felt that diazepam was easier to titrate and that induction into sedation and recovery to baseline was smoother.…”

“…Patients undergoing surgery with regional anaesthesia are frequently sedated, as many prefer to have no recall of their stay in the operating theatre. Midazolam is used commonly for this purpose and may be preferable to diazepam, as it is associated with a greater degree of amnesia [1]. The administration of additional oxygen to these patients is practised by most anaesthetists, but reference works on local anaesthesia make only cursory mention of the use of oxygen.…”

“…Kaufman et al [14] in their study compared intranasal and intravenous midazolam sedation in a Dental Phobia Clinic and stated that there was no change in blood pressure in both groups of patients. In their study Dixon et al [15] used sedation for local anaesthesia and compared intravenous midazolam and diazepam and stated that in the intravenous midazolam there was a significant fall in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after satisfactory sedation was obtained. In their study Forster et al [12] used intra venous midazolam as an induction agent for anaesthesia and stated that in normal persons, midazolam, 0.15 mg/kg IV over 15 sec, produces statistically significant reduction in systolic (5%) and diastolic (10%) blood pressure.…”
