Comparative study of lorazepam and trimeprazine for oral premedication in paediatric anaesthesia.

چکیده
One hundred and ninety-nine children received lorazepam 0.05 mg kg-1 or trimeprazine 3 mg kg-1 as oral premedication in a double-blind trial. Lorazepam proved more palatable and produced a cheerful demeanour, but possessed no significant advantages on overall assessment before surgery. Following operation, restlessness with vomiting, and evidence of retrograde amnesia occurred more frequently with lorazepam.

The pH and volume of gastric aspirate were measured immediately after the induction of anaesthesia in 224 healthy children to determine the effects of decreasing the period of fasting and of giving oral premedicants before anaesthesia. Fasting for less than 4 h was found to increase the volume of gastric aspirate and the risk of developing pulmonary aspiration syndrome. Trimeprazine syrup was f...

The efficacy of a sublingual preparation of lorazepam was compared with an i.m. injection of lorazepam as premedication for 150 patients undergoing minor gynaecological surgery. Anxiety, arousability and recall of auditory, visual and tactile stimuli were used as measurements of the degree and rate of onset of the effects. Anxiety scores decreased in both groups after medication. Patients who r...
متن کاملRespiratory effects and amnesia after premedication with morphine or lorazepam.
Lorazepam, a new benzodiazepine, was compared with morphine for premedication. Ten patients received morphine 10 mg/70 kg i.m. and 10 received lorazepam 4 mg/70 kg i.m. Respiratory effects were assessed from the change in slope (S) and intercept (B) of the carbon dioxide response line, using a development of Read's rebreathing method. Morphine depressed S by 47% (P less than 0.01), but after lo...
