97 Safety of Out-of-Hospital Midazolam in Behavioral Emergencies

Based on its increasing use in emergency departments, one urban EMS agency in California began using midazolam for sedation (up to 5mg IM standard dose). To date, no studies evaluate midazolam safety in the out-of-hospital setting for sedation of patients in acute behavioral emergencies. This study attempts to quantify the incidence of adverse events associated with out-of-hospital patients receiving midazolam.
