Oral XXXX versus intravenous @entity1363 for conscious sedation during @entity231 surgery performed using topical anesthesia.

@entity1 @entity3175 @entity231 @entity148 @entity158 @entity1363
PURPOSE: To compare the @entity158 , @entity148 , undesired movement, and cooperation between @entity1 receiving oral @entity3175 or intravenous (IV) @entity1363 for conscious sedation during @entity231 surgery under topical anesthesia. SETTING: Ambulatory surgical center, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. DESIGN: Prospective randomized controlled trial. METHODS: @entity1 having first-time @entity231 extraction with topical anesthesia were randomized to receive sedation with oral @entity3175 30  minutes before surgery or IV @entity1363 immediately preceding surgery. The outcomes of @entity158 , @entity148 , undesired movement, and poor cooperation were observed by the surgeon and recorded during surgery. RESULTS: One hundred fifty-six @entity231 surgeries were included, 83 in the IV @entity1363 group and 73 in the oral @entity3175 group. Twenty-four @entity1 (29%) in the IV group and 7 @entity1 (10%) in the oral group showed undesired movement (P  <  .02). Seven @entity1 (8%) in the IV group and 2 @entity1 (3%) in the oral group showed poor cooperation (P >  .05). Fifteen @entity1 (18%) in the IV  group and 9 @entity1 (12%) in the oral group had @entity148 (P >  .05). Three @entity1 (4%) in the  IV group and 3 @entity1 (4%) in the oral group experienced @entity158 (P >  .05). CONCLUSIONS: Fewer @entity1 receiving oral @entity3175 30  minutes before @entity231 surgery than @entity1 receiving IV @entity1363 immediately preceding surgery showed undesired movement during surgery. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of @entity1 showing poor cooperation or experiencing @entity158 or @entity148 between the 2 groups.
