Multicenter Study
The effect of intraoperative midazolam on postoperative delirium in older surgical patients: a prospective, multicentre cohort study.
Midazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine frequently used in the perioperative setting. This study aimed to investigate the potential impact of intraoperative midazolam on postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. ⋯ Intraoperative administration of midazolam may not be associated with an increased risk of postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
