Intravenous midazolam in oral surgery

P Van der Bijl et al. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1987 Jun.

Abstract

Intravenously administered midazolam (0.1 mg/kg) was compared with placebo in a randomized study in 50 patients undergoing oral surgical procedures under local anaesthesia. The results obtained from this study showed that midazolam when compared to placebo had slight cardiovascular and respiratory depressant effects, diminished anxiety and caused amnesia. It also provided better operating conditions and possibly stimulated appetite.
