Brief Summary:
Neuroleptics are used since a long time in the management of severely agitated patients. Loxapine is routinely used in our country, with, to our knowledge no severe adverse event reported, in this indication.
However, recently, benzodiazepines have appeared interesting in agitated patients, with the use of midazolam.
The aim of this study is to compare midazolam to loxapine in the treatment of severe agitated patients admitted in the emergency department.

|---|---|
|
Active Comparator: loxapine
agitated patients were randomly assigned either to loxapine, either to midazolam group
|
Drug: loxapine, midazolam
agitated patients received loxapine 1 ml/ kg body weight ( loxapine 25mg/ml) or midazolam 1 ml/ kg body weight ( midazolam 1mg/ml) if patients were still agitated 20 min after the first treatment, they received loxapine 0.5 ml/ kg body weight ( loxapine 25mg/ml) or midazolam 0.5 ml/ kg body weight ( midazolam 1mg/ml)
Other Names:
Biological: blood sample was evaluated in patients sedated, alcohol level, blood sugar
Other Names:
Other: patient monitoring Till his coming out the emergency service, patient had an hemodynamic, respiratory and neurologic monitoring as well as an agitated score monitoring The occurence of a complication during the 15 days after leaving the emergency department was prospected. Drug: Loxapine Loxapine 1 mL / 10 kg |
|
Active Comparator: midazolam
midazolam is compared to loxapine in terms of efficacy and tolerance
|
Drug: loxapine, midazolam
agitated patients received loxapine 1 ml/ kg body weight ( loxapine 25mg/ml) or midazolam 1 ml/ kg body weight ( midazolam 1mg/ml) if patients were still agitated 20 min after the first treatment, they received loxapine 0.5 ml/ kg body weight ( loxapine 25mg/ml) or midazolam 0.5 ml/ kg body weight ( midazolam 1mg/ml)
Other Names:
Biological: blood sample was evaluated in patients sedated, alcohol level, blood sugar
Other Names:
Other: patient monitoring Till his coming out the emergency service, patient had an hemodynamic, respiratory and neurologic monitoring as well as an agitated score monitoring The occurence of a complication during the 15 days after leaving the emergency department was prospected. Drug: Midazolam Midazolam 1 mL / 10 Kg |
Primary Outcome Measures :
- Success of treatment at 20 min [ Time Frame: 20 min ]
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Success of treatment at 40 and 60 min [ Time Frame: 40 and 60 mn ]
- Agitation level at 20,40 and 60 min [ Time Frame: 20, 40 and 60mn ]
- Need for rescue medication [ Time Frame: any time ]
- Sedation duration
- treatment failure [ Time Frame: one hour after treatment ]
