[Comparative study of the effect of midazolam and hypnomidate on the cardiovascular system]. 1983

W F List, and H Ponhold

A randomized study of the induction agents Midazolam and Hypnomidate on 20 patients without cardiovascular disease only showed a minimal effect of both agents on blood pressure, heart rate and myocardial function. Inspite of small differences after injection of Midazolam or Hypnomidate, neither of the agents appears superior to the other. Midazolam is an i.v. induction agent with minimal cardiovascular effect and good hypnotic properties.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007093 Imidazoles Compounds containing 1,3-diazole, a five membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms separated by one of the carbons. Chemically reduced ones include IMIDAZOLINES and IMIDAZOLIDINES. Distinguish from 1,2-diazole (PYRAZOLES).

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.
