- Abstract
- The objective of this study was to investigate the usefulness and safety of midazolam-induced anesthesia for cystoscopy. From September 2005 to March 2006, 80 patients scheduled for regular outpatient follow-up cystoscopy participated in this study. The patients were randomized and classified according to the cystoscope type and midazolam use as follows: group 1 (10 men and 10 women), flexible cystoscopy + midazolam; group 2 (10 men and 10 women), flexible cystoscopy + no midazolam; group 3 (10 men and 10 women), rigid cystoscopy + midazolam; and group 4 (10 men and 10 women), rigid cystoscopy + no midazolam. Immediately after the procedure, the patients were asked to rate their comfort level using a ten-point visual linear analog self-assessment pain scale. The patients assigned in the midazolam group experienced no side-effects from the midazolam. Blood pressure and pulse rate did not change significantly during the procedure. The degree of pain experienced by group 1 was lower than other groups (P < 0.05) and group 4 had a significantly greater pain score than other groups (P < 0.05). No difference was evident between group 2 and 3 regarding the pain score. Midazolam anesthesia may relieve pain during rigid and flexible cystoscopy. Our findings suggest that midazolam anesthesia during cystoscopy is useful and safe.
