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 .
