  recovery of patients above the age 50 year from anaesthesia receiving Benzodiazepine products in one of

  Iran Medical Sciences University hospital's operating rooms .

  A total of sixty middle aged patients were selected sequentially . Thirty of them (12 females and 18 males )

  were in the control group and the other thirty (15 female s and 15 males) in the study group . All were

  out-patients scheduled for a short cataract surgery.

  The instrument was a check-list . The information was collected from the patients, records •

  haemodynamic laboratory reports and an interview with the subject . The findings were presented in 16

  Tables, further descriptive and inferal statistical rests (t2) were employed for analytical procedures.

  The results indicated that IV. Injection of Flumazenil immediately after the surgical procedure helps

  stabilize patients' vital signs (pulse , respiration and blood pressure ) approaching preoperative measures and

  those of the Benzodiazepine injection patients ' recovery , Regaining consciousness was promoted as well .
