Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialEffects of sedation with midazolam or propofol on cognition and psychomotor functions.
The study compared the effects of midazolam and propofol on explicit and implicit memory, cognition, and psychomotor function in patients undergoing oral surgical procedures with local anesthesia and conscious sedation. ⋯ Midazolam and propofol generally produced equivalent impairments, but the duration of the effects of propofol was shorter. Unlike explicit memory, implicit memory resisted impairment.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialThe effect of a 4-mg preoperative intravenous dose of ondansetron in preventing nausea and vomiting after maxillofacial surgery.
The efficacy of a preoperative 4-mg dose of ondansetron given intravenously in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting after maxillofacial surgery was evaluated in a double-blind randomized study. ⋯ Four milligrams ondansetron given intravenously preoperatively was ineffective in controlling postoperative nausea and vomiting after maxillofacial surgery. Possibly, a larger dose or a second dose given 8 hours after the first dose may be effective.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialPropofol: an alternative general anesthetic for outpatient oral surgery.
This study compared propofol with methohexital for use in outpatient general anesthesia for oral surgery procedures. ⋯ Propofol is a suitable agent for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia for outpatient oral surgery procedures. It provides a smooth induction of anesthesia with few excitatory effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialA double-blind randomized comparison of midazolam alone and midazolam combined with ketamine for sedation of pediatric dental patients.
The safety and efficacy of a new sedation technique for children having dental procedures under local anesthesia were evaluated. ⋯ The use of a combination of midazolam and ketamine or midazolam alone is a safe, effective, and practical approach to managing children for minor dental procedures under local anesthesia. With this technique, advanced airway management proficiency is recommended.
