Intoduction:
Dormicum is used to produce sleepiness or drowsiness and to relieve
anxiety before surgery or certain procedures. It is also used to
produce loss of consciousness before and during surgery. Dormicum is
used sometimes in patients in intensive care units in hospitals to cause
unconsciousness. This may allow the patients to withstand the stress of
being in the intensive care unit and help the patients cooperate when a
machine must be used to assist them with breathing..
