Abstract

Background: Premedication enhances patient comfort during general anesthesia. Clonidine 
and midazolam, both sedatives, lack a comparative safety and efficacy analysis in this 
context.
Methods: A trial compared clonidine and midazolam effects as pre-anesthetics. 100 
orthopedic surgery patients at a tertiary care center were randomly given one. Standardized 
protocols guided administration. Outcomes included sedation, anxiety reduction, 
hemodynamic stability, adverse effects, and post-anesthesia recovery time.
