Resumen
In two groups of 22 patients lorazepam 20 mg and diazepam 10 mg were administered orally on the night before operation. Thirty minutes before anesthesia both groups received, in a double-blind method, lorazepam (0.02 mg/kg) or diazepam (10 mg) intravenously. The evaluation done the next day showed that: lorazepam has an important tranquilizing effect, although not statistically different from diazepam. Lorazepam is effective in producing amnesia, significantly more than diazepam. Lorazepam has no important actions on vital parameters. 28 5 609 619
