A Comparison of Hemodynamic Responses and Patient Comfort In Catract Surgery With And Without Midazolam As Sedation.

Abstract

To investigate if pre-block intravenous sedation using Midazolam minimizes pain, reduces pain recall, and attenuates hemodynamic responses to peribulbar block.A prospective study with intravenous sedation Midazolam 0.02 mg/kg body weight prior to peribulbar block were evaluated for hemodynamic responses and patient comfort in cataract surgery. Intravenous sedation with Midazolam in cataract surgery prior to peribulbar block reduced pain recall and haemodynamic responses to peribulbar block and improved patient satisfaction.
