title: [Tiapride in anesthesiology].
abstract: The psycho-motor sedative action of tiapride, which has been demonstrated in internal medicine, was studied in anesthesiology. A group of 253 patients hospitalized for urological (203 cases) or gynaecological (50 cases) operations were given standard premedication together with 100 to 300 mg of tiapride. Preoperative sedation and reduction of anxiety was excellent in 138 cases, moderate in 97 cases, and nil in 18 cases, under the influence of tiapride. Tiapride was perfectly well tolerated even in patients with debility, obesity, alcoholism and cardiac or respiratory insufficiency.
