L Grabow, and A Hein, and B Hendrikx, and W Thiel, and E Schilling

In a randomised study, 6 different premedications (oral flunitrazepam, oral pentobarbital, oral NaCl solution; intramuscular pethidine, intramuscular droperidol/fentanyl, and intramuscular NaCl solution) were administered to 600 patients, to determine the equal efficacy of oral and intramuscular application. The results show a significantly better mode of action of oral premedication.
