This prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial compared the anxiolytic efficacy and safety of intravenous midazolam and dexmedetomidine in 60 patients undergoing day-care surgery. Primary outcomes included anxiety scores measured by STAI and sedation assessed by the OAAS scale at multiple perioperative time points. Secondary outcomes assessed in the study included detailed evaluation of hemodynamic …
