midazolam and Acute Stress Disorders

midazolam has been researched along with Acute Stress Disorders in 1 studies

Midazolam: A short-acting hypnotic-sedative drug with anxiolytic and amnestic properties. It is used in dentistry, cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.
midazolam : An imidazobenzodiazepine that is 4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine which is substituted by a methyl, 2-fluorophenyl and chloro groups at positions 1, 6 and 8, respectively.

ICU Experiences by Administering ICU Stressful Experiences Questionnaire (ICU-SEQ)

"The ICU-SEQ assesses patient recall of their ICU experience. The ICU-SEQ assesses both psychological (e.g. fearfulness, anxiety) and physical (e.g. pain, difficulty breathing) perceptions of ICU patients who have received mechanical ventilation. It consists of 29 potentially stressful experiences with seven items specifically addressing the endotracheal tube. The extent that patients are bothered by each item is scored on a five point scale: 0 = not at all, 1 = a little bit, 2 = moderately, 3 = quite a bit, and 4 = extremely. The cumulative score is an integer interpreted as interval data with higher scores indicating greater stressful experiences associated with the ICU. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score possible is 116." (NCT00744380)

Manifestations of Acute Stress Disorder by Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R)

"The IES-R evaluates subjective distress caused by traumatic events and assesses manifestations of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or acute stress disorder. It is not diagnostic but possesses excellent reliability and validity for manifestations of PTSD. The IES-R has three subscales (eight items on intrusion, eight items on avoidance, and six items on hyperarousal). Each item is scored on a four point scale: 0 = not at all, 1 = a little bit, 2 = moderately often, 3 = quite a bit, and 4 = extremely often. The total score of each subscale may be averaged and a cumulative score of 30 is indicative of the presence of PTSD. The maximum score for each subscale is 32 for intrusion, 32 for avoidance, and 24 for hyperarousal. The minimum cumulative score is 0 and the maximum cumulative score possible is 88." (NCT00744380)

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Score

The HADS consists of 14 questions, seven for anxiety and seven for depression. Each item is scored from 0 to 3, with a cut-off cumulative score of 11 for both subscales indicative of anxiety or depression. This scoring tool has been used for 30 years, possesses excellent reliability and validity, and avoids reliance conditions that are also common somatic symptoms of illness such fatigue, insomnia, and hypersomnia. The maximum score for each subscale is 21 with a maximum possible cumulative score of 42. The minimum score for each subscale is 0. The minimum cumulative score is 0 (NCT00744380)

The Quality of Sedation (Assessed by the Riker Sedation-Agitation Score) and Analgesia (Assessed by the Pain Assessment Behavioral Score)

The Riker sedation-agitation score (range 1-7) and PABS (range 0-10) are assessed hourly by the bedside nurse. Riker scores assess restlessness and cooperation. Riker scores of 5 - 7 indicate agitation, 3 - 4 represent adequate sedation and 1 - 2 represent excessive sedation. PABS assessments include domains of restlessness, muscle tone, vocalization, consolability, and facial expressions. PABS assessments of 0 represent no pain, 1 - 3 represent mild pain, 4 - 6 represent moderate pain, and ≥ 7 represent severe pain. (NCT00744380)
