Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology and Pharmacology
- Clinical Medicine
Context:
- Investigates the psycho-motor sedative effects of tiapride in surgical settings.
- Builds upon prior evidence from internal medicine applications.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tiapride as a preoperative sedative in patients undergoing urological or gynaecological surgery.
Summary:
- 253 patients received tiapride (100-300 mg) as premedication.
- Excellent sedation and anxiety reduction observed in 138 patients; moderate in 97.
- Tiapride demonstrated good tolerability, even in patients with significant comorbidities.
Impact:
- Highlights tiapride's potential as a valuable tool for preoperative anxiety management in anesthesiology.
- Supports the use of tiapride in a broader patient population, including those with comorbidities.
