SUMMARY Intravenously injected midazolam was associated with a greater degree of sedation, as assessed by 24‐h retrograde amnesia, than the longer acting benzodiazepine, diazepam. No differences in the frequency of pain on injection or the occurrence of venous sequelae were noted between the two preparations.
