Nitrous Oxide and Midazolam Sedation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Conclusion: Two studies with 450 participants reported the time taken to recover from sedation, and the pooled estimate of SMD [95% CI] was obtained as -0.20 [-0.39, -0.01] and favored the combination technique. To conclude, the combination technique combines the pros and cons of both drugs in causing fewer adverse effects due to midazolam by reducing the total dose and also helps to provide better acceptance of nitrous oxide inhalation.
