Midazolam Premedication Delays Recovery After Propofol Without Modifying Involuntary Movements

Four elderly schizophrenic patients who had never been treated with neuroleptics, and a fifth patient who had received only the briefest exposure to such drugs, had retained their distinct clinical characteristics. Involuntary orofacial movements and cognitive dysfunction were found more uniformly than any particular pattern of symptoms.

Transient Feature

The point-prevalence of tardive dyskinesia in schizophrenics from a discrete geographical area (Nithsdale, in Dumfries and Galloway Region) in 1981, 1982, and 1984 was 31%, 27%, and 30% respectively. This suggests that the prevalence of tardive dyskinesia in a community of schizophrenics has reached a plateau. In 12% of patients there was persistent dyskinesia, i.e. abnormal involuntary movements were present at all three assessments. Persistent dyskinesia was more common in older patients. The severity of tardive dyskinesia fluctuated between assessments in 41 % of patients, indicating that it is only a transient feature in some cases.
