Altogether, 29 different drug combinations were administered, of which the combinations of haloperidol and midazolam admixed with either morphine or oxycodone were the most prevalent ones (26.4% and 21.9% of all administrations, respectively). Of the 329 administrations, 175 different compositions were identified.
