Summary
A controlled clinical evaluation of the psychological and physiological effects of Noludar was carried out in 171 patients in the preoperative state, employing this drug as a night sedative-hypnotic, and as preoperative medication, with or without the belladonna derivatives. Noludar was found to be a valuable agent for night sedation, but unsuitable for sedation in the immediate preoperative medication.
