The 90% Effective Sedation Dose Of Midazolam

There are no clear conclusive clinical reports defining the adequate effective dose of midazolam in patients undergoing day-case esophageal-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD). Defining such dosage will facilitate practitioners who are not anesthesia professionals to administer sedative drugs to establish a satisfactory level of moderate sedation. Our first aim is to determine the effective dose for 90% of patients (ED 90) of midazolam undergoing day-case EGD.
