Anaesthetic Time/Dose Curves: VI. Experiences with Diazepam

The feasibility of supplementing nitrous oxide-relaxant anaesthesia with diazepam was investigated in a group of 55 patients. Satisfactory anaesthesia was achieved in 45 of 49 patients when conventional premedication was employed, but in only one of six when the premedication also was restricted to diazepam. In the remaining cases satisfactory conditions were achieved by adding traces of some additional anaesthetic. While practical considerations argue against the universal use of diazepam as an intravenous anaesthetic supplement, the authors list certain special indications where this might be the treatment of choice.
