Dose-finding study of intravenous midazolam for sedation and amnesia during spinal anesthesia in patients premedicated with intramuscular midazolam.
We investigated the effective and safe dose of intravenous midazolam for sedation and amnesia during spinal anesthesia in patients premedicated with intramuscular midazolam. ⋯ For sedation and amnesia of the patients aged 20-50 years in spinal anesthesia with about 1 h duration receiving intramuscular midazolam 0.06 mg.kg(-1) as a premedication, intravenous midazolam 0.02 mg.kg(-1) might be effective and safe.
