Article Abstract
The authors present their preliminary results using intranasal midazolam for claustrophobic MRI patients.This route of administration reduced the necessity for intravenous sedation from 67 to 17%in this select group of patients.The only side effect encountered was a burning sensation of the nasal mucosa.Further investigation is necessary to determine the efficacy of intranasal midazolam in claustrophobic patients scheduled for MR examinations.
