โฆ Synopsis
Thirteen male patients were administered 20 mg of temazepam orally 1 to 2 h prior to undergoing spinal anaesthesia for a urological procedure. Samples of blood and CSF were drawn just before insertion of the spinal and the concentration of drug estimated in these two media. The results obtained indicated that a highly significant correlation existed between the unbound concentration of temazepam in plasma and the concentration of drug present in CSF. Temazepam appeared to be an effective light pre-medicant in all of the subjects studied.
