Prolonged recovery from intravenous diazepam after the day of administration has been examined in 2,468 consecutive patients who underwent oral surgery and general dentistry. Patients ranged in age from 2 to 94 years and received a mean diazepam dose of 19 mg, either by itself or with small amounts of methohexital sodium. Recovery was assessed by use of a questionnaire, and the answers were related to sexual gender, age, weight, dosage, procedure, duration, level of apprehension, and results of the sedation.
In an attempt to clarify the confusion about venous complications from intravenous diazepam, a study of 2,468 consecutive oral surgery and general dentistry cases in which diazepam was used was undertaken. It was found that 7.9% of the patients experienced local phlebitis and 4.5%, thrombophlebitis during the week after the injection. These findings were correlated with age, weight, sexual gender, dosage, type and duration of procedure, and degree of apprehension experienced by the patient.
