Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a study medication that contains a combination of a pain medication, sufentanil, and a sedative, triazolam. This drug is being designed to provide mild sedation as well as reduce anxiety and pain before and during a procedure (in this case elective abdominal liposuction).
