Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1

Abstract

Background: Conscious sedation is being widely used in various diagnostic, surgical and therapeutic procedures. Its use in spinal anesthesia is becoming increasingly popular. Aims and Objectives: To study Midazolam versus Propofol for Sedation During Regional Anaesthesia at tertiary health care centre. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study carried out in the department of anesthesiology at tertiary health care centre during the one year period i.e. January 2017 to January 2018 .Using conscious sedation using midazolam in group-I vs. propofol in group-II. In 80 patients of ASA Grade I,II,and III, were randomly divided in two groups, 40 in each group, The statistical analysis was done by Chi -square test calculated by SPSS software version 19. Result: In our study we have seen that Age distribution in both the group was comparable with each other (X2=2.412,df=5,P>0.05), Sex distribution in our study was comparable with each other (X2=0.05,df=1,p>0.05), Recovery at the end of surgery. In Group II 67.5% of patient were calm and quiet while 35% Group I. In group II, 12.5% of patients were asleep, arousable and in Group I, 22.5% of patients were asleep, arousable. Recovery and in end of surgery is highly statistically significant, in group II .( X2=8.50,df=2, P <0.01) , There was significantly less number of recall of events in Group II Preoperative and intraoperative events, than Group I (X2=11.44,df=3,p<0.0096). Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that Propofol was better than Midazolam as compared to Sedation during regional anesthesia so propofol should be preferred over midazolam.
