Reduction of venous complications of intravenous diazepam

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIAs), administered preoperatively and for three days postoperatively, were evaluated for reduction in the occurrence of venous complications following conscious sedation with intravenous diazepam. Patients receiving NSAIAs had significant reduction in overall incidence of postoperative venous complications when compared to a control group receiving postoperative narcotic analgesics.
