Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of one tablet of midazolam (Dormicum 7.5 mg) used as a premedicant for minor oral surgery and to assess the potential risk of hypoventilation. In all of the patients no significant drop in arterial oxygen saturation could be observed, but on the other hand, no real anxiolytic or amnestic effects either. With the little therapeutic use observed with the given premedication, a more widespread application of the substance in this dosage cannot be recommended, particularly when taking into account the possibility of complications and the loss of the patients's fitness to drive for the next twelve hours.
