Prescribing of benzodiazepines by casualty officers

ID Nazareth and MB King
Eagle House Health Centre, Ponders End, Enfield.

The prescribing of benzodiazepines by casualty officers in a busy district hospital over a three month period was examined by a retrospective review of case notes. Benzodiazepines, mainly diazepam, were given to 1.1% of attenders, the majority of whom had disorders involving minor muscle spasm. The efficacy of diazepam in these conditions, as well as its potential for dependence, is discussed.
