Venous complications of intravenous diazepam.
In an attempt to clarify the confusion about venous complications from intravenous diazepam, a study of 2,468 consecutive oral surgery and general dentistry cases in which diazepam was used was undertaken. It was found that 7.9% of the patients experienced local phlebitis and 4.5%, thrombophlebitis during the week after the injection. These findings were correlated with age, weight, sexual gender, dosage, type and duration of procedure, and degree of apprehension experienced by the patient.
