midazolam and Sepsis

midazolam has been researched along with Sepsis in 16 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.

Sepsis: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.

"Patients with suspected sepsis and who received a single bolus dose of etomidate for rapid sequence intubation showed no significant increase in hospital length of stay compared with patients who received a single bolus dose of midazolam."5.14A comparison of the effects of etomidate and midazolam on hospital length of stay in patients with suspected sepsis: a prospective, randomized study. ( Kulstad, EB; Rzechula, KH; Sweis, RT; Tekwani, KL; Watts, HF, 2010)
"An open, prospective study was carried out on 45 patients with multiple injuries to compare the mortality and incidence of sepsis between those given early total enteral nutrition (TEN) when sedated with propofol and historical controls who had been given total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and sedated with midazolam."5.07Long-term sedation in the ICU: enteral versus parenteral feeding. ( Bataillie, K; Baute, L; Demeyer, I, 1994)
"In a recent issue of Critical Care, Qiao and colleagues showed in a rat model of sepsis that dexmedetomidine and midazolam suppress the generation of pro-inflammatory mediators but the effects vary between agents."3.75Immunosedation: a consideration for sepsis. ( MacLaren, R, 2009)
" Therefore, we tested the dose-response direct cardiac effects of clinically available induction agents in an isolated septic rat heart model."1.35Cardiac effects of induction agents in the septic rat heart. ( Busse, H; Graf, BM; Lunz, D; Sinner, B; Zausig, YA; Zink, W, 2009)
