Analgosedierung mit Fentanyl/Midazolam nach Korrektur angeborener Herzfehler
1995
Abstract There is no standard therapy in the management of postoperative pain control following corrective cardiac surgery of congenital heart disease. Assessment in the preverbal age is difficult. In a randomized study we compared a combined treatment of fentanyl and midazolam, given as continuous infusion versus single dose application. A pain assessment score was used to measure the effectiveness of analgosedation in addition to recording nurseries observations. Fentanyl and midazolam are an appropriate combination for postoperative pain treatment. Continuous application is considered to be more effective concerning basic anxiety, cumulative dosage and to avoid volume overload in infants…
Anästhesiologisches Management bei der Versorgung von Mukoviszidose-Patienten1
2000
Objective: Improvements in the management of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) result in increased life expectancy. Thus it is likely that anesthetists will see this patients with increasing frequency. This study describes our experiences in the anesthetic management of CF patients. Methods: We descriptively and retrospectively reviewed the records of all CF patients from 1981 until 1997 who underwent elective surgery in our department of ear, nose and throat and in whom general anesthesia was required. Results: 199 anesthetics in 53 patients were reviewed. Premedication with midazolam (0.4±0.07 mg/kg) were given orally in 163 of the 199 anesthetics (82%). In 45 anesthetics the induction w…

Ketamin/Midazolam zur Analgosedierung erwies sich in bezug auf Kreislauf und Atmung gegenuber Pentazocin/Midazolam uberlegen [23]. Diese Studie sollte klaren, ob 0,25 oder 0,5 mg/kg KG Ketamin, 0,075 mg/kg KG Midazolam, unter den Aspekten Anxiolyse, Analgesie, Sedierung und Amnesie eine Alternative zu Pentazocin/Midazolam ist. Kontrollgruppe (KG): Lokalanasthesie (LA) mit Articain 4%/Adrenalinzusatz 1:200.000 (n=35); Testgruppe P/M: LA und 0,40 mg/kg KG Pentazocin/0,075 mg/kg KG Midazolam i.v. (n=35); Testgruppe K25/M: LA und 0,25 mg/kg KG Ketamin/0,075 mg/kg KG Midazolam i.v. (n=35); Testgruppe K50/M: LA und 0,50 mg/kg KG Ketamin/0,075 mg/kg KG Midazolam i.v. (n=35).

Analgosedierung bei neurochirurgischen Intensivpatienten
1990
Different concepts for analgosedation of neurosurgical patients are recommended during postoperative ventilation. In 30 neurosurgical patients (2 groups of 15 patients), we studied a continuous i.v. application of alfentanil (Rapifen) and midazolam (Dormicum) compared to an application of continuously given alfentanil with discontinuously given midazolam. A good analgosedation (i.e. sufficient sedation with good neurological judgement) was more frequently achieved (8/15 patients) by continuous application of both substances (alfentanil 0.023 mg/kg b.w./h, midazolam 0.10 mg/kg b.w./h), compared to discontinuous application of midazolam (4.5/15 patients; alfentanil 0.028 mg/kg b.w./h, midazol…
ESRA19-0239 Surgical treatment of femoral and knee injuries under peripheral regional anaesthesia: a case series
2019
Background and aims Neuroaxial anaesthesia is gold standard for lower extremity surgeries. Nowadays the introduction of ultrasound guided peripheral nerves blocks (PBN) changed the approach to orthopaedic surgery. Methods This case series evaluates postoperative pain in 17 patients with femoral or knee fractures who received PNB because of contraindications to subarachnoid anaesthesia (eg. anticoagulation therapies, refusal). We performed femoral nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 15 ml), obturators nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 7 ml), lateral cutaneous nerve block (levobupivacaine 0.5% 3 ml) and sciatic nerve block (levobupivacaine 0,5% 20 ml) focusing on a lateral approach according to…
Premedication with midazolam in intellectually disabled dental patients: Intramuscular or oral administration? A retrospective study
2016
Background: The use of midazolam for dental care in patients with intellectual disability is poorly documented. The purpose of this study was to determine which method of premedication is more effective for these patients, 0.15 mg/kg of intramuscular midazolam or 0.3 mg/kg of oral midazolam. Material and Methods: This study was designed and implemented as a non-randomized retrospective study. The study population was composed of patients with intellectual disability who required dental treatment under ambulatory general anesthesia from August 2009 through April 2013. Patients were administered 0.15 mg/kg of midazolam intramuscularly (Group IM) or 0.3 mg/kg orally (Group PO). The predictor v…
Current methods of sedation in dental patients : a systematic review of the literature
2015
Objetive The main objective of this systematic literature review is to identify the safest and most effective sedative drugs so as to ensure successful sedation with as few complications as possible. Study Design A systematic literature review of the PubMed MEDLINE database was carried out using the key words “conscious sedation,” “drugs,” and “dentistry.” A total of 1,827 scientific articles were found, and these were narrowed down to 473 articles after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. These 473 studies were then individually assessed for their suitability for inclusion in this literature review. Results A total of 21 studies were selected due to their rigorous study design and c…
Sedation During Neurocritical Care
2019
AbstractSedation is an essential therapeutic strategy in the care of neurocritical patients. Intravenous sedative agents are the most widely used, with promising alternatives (dexmedetomidine, ketamine, and volatile agents) to propofol and midazolam arising. Studies designed to evaluate superiority and avoid biases are required. A neurological awakening test is safe in most patients. Potential risks and benefits of limiting deep sedation and daily interruption of sedation in these patients remain unclear. The aim of this review was to report recent clinical evidence on sedation in this subgroup of patients, focusing on its effects on clinical prognosis.
Improved Sedation in Diagnostic and Therapeutic ERCP: Propofol is an Alternative to Midazolam
2000
Background and Study Aims: Adequate sedation of the patient is required for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The anesthetic propofol, with its shorter half-life, affording better control, offers an alternative to the benzodiazepine midazolam. The aim of this randomized, controlled, unblinded study was to compare prospectively the quality of sedation under propofol and midazolam in patients undergoing ERCP. Patients and Methods: A total of 80 patients were randomized to sedation with propofol alone (n=40) or midazolam alone (n = 40). Blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation were measured. Midazolam was given by the endoscopist and titrated…
