Diazepam, flunitrazepam and midazolam for elective endoscopy--a comparative study.

One hundred twenty patients undergoing elective endoscopies were studied. They were allocated into three groups and accordingly they received Diazepam, Flunitrazepam and Midazolam. The effect of these drugs on the task performance of the patient's memory, anxiety and sedation level were assessed using objective tests. Cardiovascular and respiratory parameters were also assessed. All observations were subjected to student's t-test and chi squared assessment. We concluded that there are no major differences between the three drugs in the dosage used. However, the Midazolam group showed faster recovery, more sedation, less pain on injection than the Diazepam group. As for the cardiovascular system, there was a tendency for hypotension and tachycardia in all groups. Patients in the Midazolam group had more amnesia as compared to the other groups.

Effect of sodium thiopentone and midazolam on intraocular pressure, pulse rate and blood pressure--a comparative study.

A programmed study on the effect of sodium thiopentone and midazolam on systemic blood pressure, pulse rate and intraocular pressure was done on sixty patients. A significant increase of all parameters was found after one minute. These values became less increased after three minutes. After five minutes a significant decrease of systolic and diastolic pressure, and intraocular pressure, as well normalization of pulse rate was found for both groups. A comparison between the results of both groups show that the systolic pressure was more significantly increased under the effects of midazolam than thiopentone. In contrast to this, pulse rate and introcular pressure showed similar changes in both groups.

Pneumomediastinum due to venturi system during microlaryngoscopy.

This is a case report of pneumomediastinum and surgical emphysema following the use of venturi jet ventilation during microlaryngoscopy. The patient recovered spontaneously and no active measures were taken. A review of the literature was made for the complications of the venturi jet system during this procedure and precautions for avoiding these complications were stressed.

A comparative study of midazolam and thiopentone for induction of anesthesia for short operations.

Midazolam has been studied as an induction agent compared to thiopentone in forty patients. Few drawbacks were noted, but these included a fall in systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respiratory upsets and longer induction and recovery times compared to thiopentone. The difference between these two agents is statistically significant. The midazolam group took a longer time (after discontinuation of inhalational anesthetics) to respond to commands and perform certain tasks during the process of recovery. We concluded that thiopentone is preferable to midazolam as an induction agent.
