Midazolam kinetics before, during and after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. 1985

J Kanto, and J J Himberg, and H Heikkilä, and M Arola, and J Jalonen, and V Laaksonen

Gas-chromatographically determined serum concentrations of midazolam were recorded before, during and after cardiopulmonary bypass in patients scheduled for a coronary artery bypass grafting operation. Following single 0.075 mg/kg (n = 6) and 0.15 mg/kg (n = 6) intravenous injections of midazolam, a mean distribution phase half-life of 3.4 and 4.4 min respectively was calculated. At the establishment of the bypass, a rapid drop in the concentration of midazolam was observed followed by a significant increase in concentration during the postperfusion period. The apparent mean elimination phase half-life (281 min) of midazolam was longer than that (about 120 min) measured in earlier works in young, healthy subjects. Thus the metabolism of midazolam during the postperfusion period appears to be slower.

D008874 Midazolam A short-acting hypnotic-sedative drug with anxiolytic and amnestic properties. It is used in dentistry, cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.
