Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the duration of amnesia associated with the intravenous usage of midazolam and fentanyl. The midazolam was administered in three different dosages based on the patient's weight in kilograms. Patients were shown a series of pen-and-ink drawings at various times throughout the procedure and tested the next day for memory of the drawings using both free recall and match-to-sample paradigms. The results indicate that the low-dosage group (0.07 mg/kg) had insufficient amnesia, whereas the medium (0.10 mg/kg) and high (0.13 mg/kg) groups displayed adequate amnesia in the intraoperative period.

Amnesia
The severity and duration of memory loss vary depending on the type and underlying cause. Amnesia is classified into two main types: retrograde and anterograde.
Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
Anterograde...
