Both continuous and patient-controlled infusions of midazolam provide effective sedation for third molar extractions, ensuring patient safety and amnesia without significant hemodynamic changes.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Oral Surgery
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Sedation is crucial for patient comfort during dental procedures.
  • Midazolam is a commonly used sedative agent.
  • Different administration methods may impact efficacy and patient experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and safety of continuous infusion versus patient-controlled infusion of midazolam for sedation during third molar extractions.
  • To evaluate patient amnesia, hemodynamic stability, and acceptance of both sedation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving patients undergoing third molar extractions.
  • Midazolam administered via initial bolus followed by either continuous infusion or patient-controlled infusion.
  • Monitoring of blood pressure, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation.

  • Assessment of amnesia and patient/operator satisfaction.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, or oxygen saturation were observed with either method.
    • Both methods provided good amnesia for events during surgery (70-75%) and at the end (61-70%).
    • High acceptance rates for both continuous infusion (93%) and patient-controlled infusion (98%) were reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient-controlled infusion and continuous infusion of midazolam are equally satisfactory for sedation during third molar extractions.
    • Both methods ensure hemodynamic stability and good patient amnesia.
    • No patient preference or operator distinction between the two infusion methods was found.
