Midazolam is a benzodiazepine with some sedative in some anxiety lytic properties. Ketamine is an N MD A receptor antagonist that induces dissociative anesthesia. It also induces short-term amnesia in humans. This pharmaceutical combination allows good short-term sedation for minor procedures such as physical examination, imaging phlebotomy or even fine needle aspiration. The majority of the sedative effect is readily reversible with the administration of flumazenil and Adapazar. However, it's important to note that none of these medications have significant analgesic properties for more invasive procedures such as incisional or excisional biopsy of masses. Additional medication is required to alleviate pain. An opiate medication such as HYDROmorphone or oxyMORphone, used alone or in combination with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication and local regional anesthesia is indicated
