    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Midazolam is a versatile, water-soluble benzodiazepine derivative.
    • It is widely used in anesthesia for various applications, including sedation and as a premedicant.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the use of midazolam as an induction agent in general anesthesia.
    • To evaluate its safety and efficacy in patients undergoing elective or emergency surgeries.
