Randomized Controlled TrialSedative and cardiovascular effects of midazolam and diazepam alone or combined with clonidine in patients undergoing hemodynamic studies for suspected coronary artery disease.
Sedation during coronary angiography has been rarely studied, and it is important to know which drug is the best to sedate these patients. ⋯ Midazolam was associated with a greater sedative and cardiovascular effect, whereas for diazepam these effects were less intense. Clonidine and diazepam had similar effects on BP, HR and sedation.
