  • Title: Venous complications of intravenous diazepam.
    Author: Litchfield NB.
    Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1983 Nov; 41(11):701-5. PubMed ID: 6579254.
    Abstract:
    In an attempt to clarify the confusion about venous complications from intravenous diazepam, a study of 2,468 consecutive oral surgery and general dentistry cases in which diazepam was used was undertaken. It was found that 7.9% of the patients experienced local phlebitis and 4.5%, thrombophlebitis during the week after the injection. These findings were correlated with age, weight, sexual gender, dosage, type and duration of procedure, and degree of apprehension experienced by the patient.
