Effectiveness of triazolam, diazepam, and placebo as preanesthetic medications.

abstract：BACKGROUND:This study investigated the ability of the modified continual reassessment method (MCRM) to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the opioid antagonist nalmefene, which does not reverse analgesia in an acceptable number of postoperative patients receiving epidural fentanyl in 0.075% bupivacaine. METHODS:I...
