Effect of midazolam on memory during fiberoptic gastroscopy under conscious sedation.
As the fiberoptic gastroscopy using midazolam is being in widespread use, the exact nature of midazolam on memory should be clarified. We intended to examine whether midazolam causes selective anterograde amnesia and what impact it has on other aspects of memory and general cognitive function. ⋯ These findings suggest that midazolam causes transient selective anterograde amnesia in a dose-dependent manner.
