Effects of midazolam on the threshold of lidocaine-induced seizures in the dog--comparison with diazepam

H Horikawa et al. J Anesth. 1990 Jul.

Abstract

The anticonvulsive effect of midazolam was compared with that of diazepam in ten dogs. Lidocaine-induced seizure waves on the electroencephalogram were used to observe the suppressive effect of the drugs. Midazolam, 0.2 mg.kg(-1), was found to possess a stronger suppressive effect against lidocaine-induced seizures than the same dose of diazepam. These two drugs showed to possess similar effects on cerebral and systemic circulations and cerebral metabolism during seizures.
