Midazolam, a new more potent benzodiazepine, compared with diazepam: a randomized, double-blind study of preendoscopic sedatives
TL;DR: It is concluded that midazolam is a safe, effective, and promptly acting sedative for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and was significantly more potent, faster acting, and associated with greater amnesia compared to diazepam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Premedication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
TL;DR: The ideal drug with predictable clinical effects, minimal postprocedure impairment, little respiratory compromise, and proven antagonist is not yet available and endoscopists must continue to use drugs whose full effects are incompletely understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topical Lidocaine in Preendoscopic Medication
TL;DR: The endoscopist found that patients who received lidocaine tolerated endoscopy significantly better, although gagging was not affected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Midazolam versus diazepam as premedication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy: a randomized, double-blind, crossover study.
TL;DR: Midazolam should be the drug of choice when amnesia is desirable, as in the case of repeated endoscopies, because it induced significantly more amnesia than diazepam.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress reduction through listening to Indian classical music during gastroscopy.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the background Indian classical music is efficacious in reducing psychological distress during a gastroscopic examination and suggests that music could be applied to other medical situations as well, which tend to generate undue psychological stress and anxiety.
