Study aim
-
Considering that studies performed in the treatment of agitation have been performed on patients after surgery and the cause of agitation in these patients can be as a side effect of anesthesia; However, agitation in the emergency department is due to other factors such as psychological causes, alcohol poisoning, etc., and studies in this field are limited. Also considering that the use of benzodiazepines may cause complications such as delirium in patients; Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the sedative effect of midazolam and haloperidol muscle on the treatment of agitation and its complications in patients referred to the emergency department of Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital in Zahedan in 2019-2020.
