    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Plastic Surgery

    Background:

    • Midazolam is recognized for its utility in outpatient aesthetic surgery.
    • Key advantages include a short half-life (2.3 hours), painless injection, and absence of postoperative phlebitis compared to diazepam.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To recommend the incorporation of midazolam into the standard practice of aesthetic surgeons.
    • To highlight midazolam's suitability for outpatient settings where rapid recovery is paramount.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation and administration of midazolam to patients undergoing outpatient aesthetic surgery.
    • Post-administration monitoring for adverse respiratory events such as apnea.

    Main Results:

    • Midazolam demonstrated a short duration of action and high safety and effectiveness.
    • In a cohort of 400 additional patients, no instances of apnea requiring respiratory support were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Midazolam is a valuable and safe anesthetic agent for outpatient aesthetic surgery.
    • Its favorable pharmacokinetic profile and safety record support its use for enhanced patient recovery and timely discharge.
