[Valium-aspegic association. Its value in a remote medical unit (author's transl)]. / L'association Valium-Aspegic. Intérêt en poste isolé.

An efficient narco-analgesia is given by the association of two drugs: -- diazepam (Valium): a benzodiazepine with an anxiolytic and myoresolutive effect, inducing sleep and giving amnesia; -- lysine acetylsalicylate (Aspegic) giving an analgesia inferior to that of morphinomimetic drugs but not inducing respiratory depression. These two drugs are given in an intravenous catheter. Their effects last about 20 minutes - vomiting is rare. The authors report their experience of 50 cases and think that this technique is recommended in remote medical units for moderately painful and short duration operations.
