Abstract
- Midazolam is known to produce sedation as well as amnesia. Many articles reported about anterograde amnesia, but it is rare that articles about retrograde amnesia. The 61-year-old female patient (64 kg, 154 cm, ASA physical status I) was administered 3.02 mg (0.047 mg/kg) of midazolam during 2 hours. The patient's Modified Observer's Assesment of Alertness/Sedation Scale was 4. The patient who had been consciously sedated with midazolam, exhibited profound amnesia, both anterograde and retrograde after implantation. The patient's memory restoration was begun after 6 hours.
