The aim of this study was to evaluate the latency interval effect of midazolam and ketamine's post-anesthetic delirium in minor gynecologic surgeries. Informed consent will be obtained after patients enter operating room. In this randomized double blind clinical trial 100 women undergoing minor gynecological surgeries are assigned to 4 groups according to the time intervals of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 minutes between midazolam (0.05 mg/kg) and ketamine (1.5 mg/kg) doses administrated.
Inclusion criterion: Women aged 16-50 with minor gynecologic surgeries which last less than 20 minutes, elective surgery, sent to recovery room after surgery, class ASA I & II.
Exclusion criterion: History of sensitivity to midazolam or ketamine, history of psychiatric and neurological illnesses, history of heart disease and/or kidney failure under treatment, addiction to drugs or psychotropic substances, body mass index of over 30 or under 18.
The patients' degree of tranquility, speech, and delirium which are considered as components of delirium are evaluated after complete awakening and obeying commands till discharge from the recovery room. The researcher who will be recording the intensity of delirium in recovery room is blinded to the time intervals.
