“…In comparative studies with diazepam in several procedures, midazolam proved more effective at inducing rapid sedation. 16,[18][19][20] Midazolam is known to be rapidly absorbed and the onset of action is, therefore, faster than that of diazepam and its effects are expected to occur sooner than those of diazepam. In addition, the dose of both drugs to reach adequate sedation was similar.…”

“…6,16,17 The awakening time is considerably longer for midazolam so that any time gained with induction of sedation is lost in the longer recovery. 15,16,[18][19][20] However, most patients that need urgent intubation in the ICU will need continuous sedation, mainly due to respiratory insufficiency.…”

“…Zakko et al (778) showed that midazolam was more than three times as potent as diazepam in decreasing the level of consciousness and causing respiratory depression. Even when midazolam is given slowly rather than as a bolus, the maximum depression of the ventilatory CO 2 response is profound (278).…”
