Abstract

Midazolam is a very useful drug in outpatient surgery. Its principal advantages are short duration of action, painless injection, no incidence of postoperative phlebitis, and a high degree of safety and effectiveness. Midazolam also has good anesthetic properties. It is safe and effective in both children and adults for the management of ambulatory surgery.
