Lorazepam (Ativan) is another benzodiazepine that may be used for mild-to-moderate sedation; however, unlike midazolam, its onset of action does not peak until 15-20 minutes after administration. The duration of action of lorazepam is longer (ie, 6-8 h) than that of midazolam (30-60 min).
The primary pharmacological action of benzodiazepines is sedation, or the nonspecific depression of the central nervous system. The intravenous benzodiazepines, including diazepam, lorazepam, and midazolam, are widely used as the mainstay of sedation management.
