Observe the 10 rights in giving the drug.
Warn patient about the possible side effects and tell it is normal.
Ask patient to repost any adverse effects such as dyspnea, tachycardia and
severe headache.
INDICATION:
Replacement therapy particularly in extracellular fluid deficit accompanied by
acidosis

includes: Febrile response; infection at the site of injection; venous thrombosis or
phlebitis extending from the site of injection, extravasation: hypervolemia.

Renal clearance of acidic drugs such as solicyeates and barbiturates
Increase risk of hyperkalemia; increase renal clearance of lithium; decrease renal
clearance of alkaline drug
NURSING RESPONSIBILITIES:
Do not administer unless solution is clear and container is undamaged.
Caution must be exercised in the administration of parenteral fluids,
especially those containing sodium ions to patients receiving corticosteroids
or corticotrophin.
Solution containing acetate should be used with caution as excess
administration may result in metabolic alkalosis.
Solution containing dextrose should be used with caution in patients with
known subclinical or overt diabetes mellitus.
Check vital signs frequently; Report adverse reactions.
Monitor fluid intake and output
In very low birth weight infants or children, excessive or rapid administration
of dextrose injection may result in increased serum osmolality and possible

MIDAZOLAM
SUGGESTED DOSE:
Preoperative Sedative
Adults
IM 0.07 to 0.08 mg/kg approximately 1 h before surgery.
Conscious Sedation
Adults
IV 1 to 2.5 mg as 1 mg/mL dilution over 2 min. Increase by small increments to total
dose of no more than 5 mg in at least 2 min intervals; use less if patient is
premedicated with other CNS depressants.
ADVERSE EFFECTS:

nightmares; tonic/clonic movements; tremor; athetoid movements; ataxia;
dizziness; slurred speech; paresthesia; weakness; loss of balance; drowsiness;
nervousness; agitation; restlessness; prolonged emergence from anesthesia;
insomnia; dysphonia.
Dermatologic - Hives; hive-like elevation at injection site; swelling or feeling of
burning; warmth or coldness at injection site; rash; pruritus.

INTERACTION:
Anesthetics, inhalation - Inhalation anesthetics may need to be reduced if
midazolam is used as an induction agent. IV administration decreases
minimum alveolar concentration of halothane required for general
anesthesia.
Azole antifungal agents - Serum concentration of certain benzodiazepines
may be increased and prolonged, producing enhanced CNS depression and
prolonged effects.
Barbiturates, alcohol, other CNS depressants - May prolong effect and
increase risk of underventilation or apnea.
Cimetidine - May increase midazolam levels.
Oral Contraceptives - Coadministration may result in prolongation of
benzodiazepine t .
Droperidol, narcotics, secobarbital - May accentuate hypnotic effect of
midazolam.
Ethanol - Increased CNS effects with acute ethanol ingestion.

administration of midazolam.
Carefully monitor Pulse, Blood Pressure, and respirations during
administration.

administered simultaneously with intravenous calcium-containing solutions,
including Lactated Ringers Injection, USP, through the same infusion line
INTERACTION:
Corticosteroids - patients treated with drugs that may increase the risk of sodium and
fluid retention.
Renal clearance of acidic drugs such as salicylates and barbiturates may be
increased.
Renal clearance of alkaline drugs, such as sympathomimetics and
dextroamphetamine sulfate, may be decreased.
Renal clearance of lithium may also be increased.
Because of its potassium content, this should be administered with caution in patients
treated with agents or products that can cause hyperkalemia or increase risk of
hyperkalemia, such as potassium sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II
receptor antagonists, or the immunosuppressants tacrolimus and cyclosporine.
