Utilization of a more potent and higher dose benzodiazepine has the potential to be a more effective premedication. Oral midazolam is an appealing option as it has a fast onset, wide safety margin, short duration of action, a wide safety margin, a short duration of action, and a reliable dose-dependent effect due to its fast onset, wide safety margin, short duration of action, and a reliable dose-dependent effect and a reliable dose dependent. Amnesic effect. We hypothesized that the anxiolysis and amnesia produced by oral midazolam would result in decreased perception of pain and anxiety during the abortion experience. The objective of this work is to estimate the effect of oral midazolam on patient pain and anxiety perception during first-trimester surgical abortion. 000002772 540__ $$fCC BY 000002772 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002772 650__ $$aBenzodiazepines$$015453 000002772 650__ $$aMidazolam$$022302 000002772 650__ $$aAnxiety$$014946 000002772 650__ $$aPain$$023476 000002772 650__ $$aAmnesia$$014612 000002772 650__ $$aPremedication$$024563 000002772 650__ $$aPregnancy Trimester, First$$024536 000002772 650__ $$aAnti-Anxiety Agents$$027250 000002772 650__ $$aPregnancy$$024523 000002772 650__ $$aAbortion, Induced$$011020 000002772 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002772 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002772 7001_ $$aBayer, Lisa$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002772 7201_ $$aEdelman, Alison$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eChair 000002772 8564_ $$91232f607-09d5-4e32-b931-d0cd41867a70$$s1762694$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2772/files/3536_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2015d0c60a7b13c28c9c51d5ad72929ec$$31 000002772 905__ $$a/rest/prod/q8/11/kj/92/q811kj92g 000002772 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2772$$pstudent-work 000002772 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000002772 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
