Question:
Is midazolam a good anesthetic to use during cataract surgery?
Answer:
The choice of anesthetic or sedative to use during cataract surgery will vary, depending on preferences of the surgeon and anesthesiologist. Of course, the medical issues of the patient and the patient preferences also are important. Midazolam is not an anesthetic but rather a benzodiazepine sedative. Personally, I think midazolam is often a good option to use for cataract surgery, but there are many options available.
