Abstract
We studied the effects of low-dose midazolam with propofol for patient control sedation (PCS) in 30 healthy (ASA grade 1) patients who were randomly allocated into two equal groups (n = 15 in each). They were given a propofol infusion of 2 mg/kg/h after a bolus dose of 0.7 mg/kg. The second group was given the 2 mg/kg/h propofol infusion after a dose of midazolam 0.03 mg/kg and a bolus dose of propofol 0.7 mg/kg. The standard dose for PCS was propofol 0.2 mg/kg in both groups.
