Propofol and midazolam were compared for intra-operative patient-controlled sedation in 40 ASA 1 day patients undergoing surgical extraction of third molar teeth under local anaesthesia. All patients initially received 0.7 micrograms.kg-1 fentanyl. Patients in the propofol group self-administered 20 mg (2 ml over 6 s) bolus doses of propofol; successful demands averaged 8.0 (SD 4.4) and unsuccessful demands (during the 1 min lockout period) 2.8 (SD 4.1). The midazolam group self-administered 0.5 mg (2 ml over 6 s) bolus doses and averaged 14.0 (SD 6.3) and 17.6 (SD 19.8) successful and unsuccessful demands respectively. Postoperative memory, measured with delayed free recall, and postoperative mental performance, measured with the frequency accrual speed test index, were both significantly less impaired in the propofol group. Although there was no significant difference in patient satisfaction, measured postoperatively, propofol was judged the more suitable agent for patient-controlled sedation, because of its more rapid response to fluctuating intra-operative requirements, superior recovery characteristics and beneficial effect on mood.
