Sedation may be observed following administration of drugs which are not classified as general CNS depressant agents.

Benzodiazepine sedative hypnotic drugs are examples of patients which even at high doses do not induce by themselves surgical anesthesia.

Midazolam is the example of a benzodiazepine which is been identified as safest since it is no effects on tidal volume and respiratory rates, even at high doses.

The major receptor system targeted by clinically used benzodiazepines is:

The major ion channel affected by benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotics is:

Which one of the following benzodiazepine hypnotic drugs targets a GABA receptor subtype and is administered to induce sleep.

Which one(s) of the following actions represent (an) example of non-CNS, that is peripheral, benzodiazepine effect(s).

Benzodiazepine administration results in comparable degrees of neuronal depression as barbiturates.

Benzodiazepines at higher doses appropriately qualify as anaesthetics.

Benzodiazepines are not GABA type A receptor activators but rather modulate GABA effects at the receptor.
