Forty-four patients given midazolam prior to day-care urological surgery had the benzodiazepine antagonist, flumazenil, or placebo administered postoperatively. Flumazenil reversed the psychomotor impairments induced by midazolam but not its amnesic effects. There was no evidence of resedation for up to 6 h following the use of flumazenil.
