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).
Midazolam (Versed) is the most commonly used sedative. It is excellent at relieving anxiety, suppressing the gag reflex and awareness of discomfort. It induces amnesia, and interference with memory is probably the last effect of the drug to wear off, such that conversations after the procedure with the patient, who appears otherwise awake, may not be remembered.
