Does the Preoperative Midazolam Dose Affect Postoperative Pain?

Summary

To investigate whether midazolam has any effect on postoperative pain in outpatient surgery, the investigators will assess the impact of different midazolam doses on pain scores 24h, 7 days and 3 months after ambulatory surgery. The investigators hypothesize that patients being administered higher midazolam doses will refer more pain.
