title: Midazolam-droperidol premedication for cardiac surgery. A comparison with papaveretum and hyoscine.
abstract: A combination of midazolam and droperidol given intramuscularly was compared with papaveretum and hyoscine for premedication of patients about to undergo cardiac surgery. Midazolam and droperidol proved to be a very satisfactory combination, producing superior sedation and anxiolysis with good cardiovascular stability.
