Midazolam is AWESOME. I was told i would be concious, I forget why, but i wont care, and likely wont remember. Let me tell you... I didnt care. i became a little concious and bit worried inbetween procedures... They said dont worry, we dose ya again... I felt it hit and they started the procedure... Cool... Ooh.. knife .. they are.... I came to rolling down the hallway. Neat stuff.
In my Country we get Dormicum for sleep but i prefer Rohypnol

Absolutely can. Is this refering to sedation and analgesia for the ventilated patient?

Thank you for pointing out right up front that midazolam is a sedative or calming agent. Too many people infer that it is part of the anesthetic cocktail. Also, please state that midazolam MIGHT cause a patient to not make any new memories of a painful procedure. In my personal case, it has never done that. Perhaps I was not given a large enough dosage as you have stated, but an anesthesiologist told me a certain percentage of people do not get amnesia from this drug. As an aside, it is a pet peeve of mine that the medical profession thinks it is such a great thing that they can perform painful procedures on patients, are experienced in all their relative horror, but thinking it is such a great thing that they don’t remember it afterwards. Taken to an extreme, how would someone feel if they found them self being tortured for whatever reason but they’re torturers were compassionate enough to give them sufficient midazolam that they had no recollection of it? Would anyone be comfortable in that situation ? just a thought

Thanks for your comment. A very interesting point. I had assumed it worked for everyone. But you are 100% right
This awful drug is being used as an end of life drug despite the fact that an Ohio judge banned it from executions, deeming it to be inhumane.
