Midazolam and anaesthesia. [PDF]
By virtue of its physico‐chemical properties and its rapid biotransformation, midazolam is an important addition in certain areas in anaesthesia. Of particular importance are its good local tissue tolerance after intramuscular injection, the absence of venous irritation, and the rapid start of metabolism with good control of action.
