Supports preferring propofol over midazolam in patients at sympathetic overdrive risk; extends RCT data on sedation-specific autonomic modulation.
Does intravenous propofol compared to midazolam alter heart rate variability and hemodynamics in dental patients undergoing conscious sedation?
Propofol enhances parasympathetic dominance while midazolam enhances sympathetic dominance during conscious sedation, highlighting differential autonomic effects relevant for patients at risk of cardiovascular complications.
Win et al. (2005) studied this question.
