( Baldaçara, L; Cordeiro, DC; Jackoswski, AP; Sanches, M, 2011)
" Midazolam was more rapidly sedating than haloperidol-promethazine, reducing the time people are exposed to aggression."5.10Rapid tranquillisation for agitated patients in emergency psychiatric rooms: a randomised trial of midazolam versus haloperidol plus promethazine. ( , 2003)

( Carey, BE; Falk, JL; Malone, LC; O'Brien, JF, 1991)
