Midazolam in Hernia Operation
I am trying to get some information on Midazolam My partner had a
hernia operation under local anesthetic and was also given
Midazolam. She weights 138 KG she was given 10mg of Midazolam at the
start of the operation. I understood this was to be given 1mg at a
time over 2 mins then wait 2min before giving anymore is this
correct? They gave here 10mg all in one go. After 50 mins her bp was
125/80 pulse 85 it then dropped to 100/30 pulse 39 and she passed
out and had to be given Atropine it took them 6 mins to give her the
Atropine. Later in the operation they gave her 2 mg Midazolam and 50
mins later again her bp and heart rate dropped. ... more »

Is the sudden drop of BP and pulse caused by the Midazolam? It seems
to happen after 50 mins each time. Is she in danger of dieing ?
During the operation which should have lasted 30 mins but went on
for 2.5 hours the pain relief didnt work and she was screaming in
pain but the was no anesthetist so they carried on. Could the drop
in BP etc be a result of pain? Does it means she is allergic to
Midazolam?
Could she have been overdosed on Midazolam as they gave it her all
in one go?
I hope you can help us with these answers as the hospital dont want
to give us any answers
