title: [The premedication of PTA. A double-blind and randomized comparison of midazolam/tramadol versus placebo/tramadol].
abstract: A prospective, randomised and double blind comparative study of Midazolam/Tramadol or placebo/Tramadol for premedication before PTA was carried out on 40 patients (12 female and 28 male, average age 66.1 +/- 12). The anxiolytic, analgesic and general findings were quantified by means of a visual analogue score. Pre- and peri-interventional blood gas, blood pressure and pulse rates were determined. The complications of the two schemes were compared. 19 patients received Midazolam/Tramadol and 21 placebo/Tramadol. Patient anxiety was reduced significantly from 25.8 +/- 25 to 4.3 +/- 6 by premedication. Significant increase in the pain score during PTA was observed only in the placebo group (4.3 +/- 12.6 to 27.4 +/- 20.9). There was no difference in the incidence of complications and respiratory depression due to the Midazolam/Tramadol combination was not observed.
