Sedative agents
- The ideal agent is short-acting with minimal respiratory or hemodynamic depression
- Ketamine offers the greatest safety profile overall but caution in the elderly or patients with known cardiovascular disease due to sympathetic surge
- Propofol is often used for orthopedic procedures due to muscle relaxation, but can cause respiratory depression and hypotension
- Etomidate used less frequently than other agents; causes myoclonus that is undesirable for orthopedic reduction
Ketamine
- Noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist that produced dissociative state
- Sedation, analgesia, and amnesia
- Safe to use in children undergoing procedural sedation and analgesia (Level A recommendation)[1]
- Maintains upper airway tone, protective reflexes, and spontaneous breathing
- Little evidence to advocate for prevention of emergence phenomenon, may pretreat with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg (2-4 mg for most adults)[2]
- Versed can be used subsequently if emergence reaction occurs
- 1-2 mg/kg IV, followed by 0.5-1 mg/kg IV PRN
- 4-5 mg/kg IM → repeat 2-4 mg/kg IM after 10 min if first dose unsuccessful
- Duration 10 to 20 minutes
Propofol
- Potentiates GABA receptors, sedative hypnotic agent without analgesic properties
- Rapid onset <1 min, short duration <10 min, predictable dose dependent potency
- 0.5-1mg/kg IV over 3-5 mins, repeat 0.5 mg/kg q3-5 min PRN
- Can cause dose-related respiratory depression, hypotension, and decreased cardiac output, however, rarely leads to unplanned intubation, prolonged observation, or complications requiring admission [3]
- Can cause sympathomimetic effects, such as tachycardia, hypertension, and increased cardiac output, and caution should be used in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
Fentanyl/Midazolam
- Dose fentanyl first: 0.5-1mcg/kg
- Follow with 1-2 mg of midazolam
- Designed for moderate sedation
- Too deep when painful stimulus stops the patient may become apneic
- Combination of other opioids with benzodiazepines such as lorazepam is possible
- Duration 30min
Fentanyl/Etomidate
- Similar to fentnayl/midazolam, but better because shorter duration of action
- An alternative to propofol for brief sedation
- E.g. shoulder/hip reduction, cardioversion
- Can cause myoclonus[4] and occaisonly adrenal supression.
- Dose fentanyl first: 0.5-1mcg/kg
- Etomidate 0.15mg/kg (8-10mg avg)
- Duration: 6min
Brevital (Methohexital)/Fentanyl
- Suppresses the reticular activating center in the brainstem and cerebral cortex, thereby causing sedation
- Sedation and amnesia, no analgesia
- Dose fentanyl first: 0.5-1mcg/kg
- Initial dose 0.75 to 1mg/kg IV
- Repeat doses of 0.5mg/kg IV can be given every two minutes.
- Immediate onset, duration <10 minutes
Propofol/Ketamine (Ketofol)
- 1:1 mixture of ketamine and propofol[5]
- Safe in children and adults undergoing procedural sedation and anesthesia (Level B Reccomendation)[1]
- Theorized that side-effect profiles counter one another
- Propofol-associated hypotension and respiratory depression can theoretically be reduced with increases in circulatory norepinephrine induced by ketamine
- Ketamine associated nausea and emergence reactions are theoretically reduced by the antiemetic and anxiolytic properties of propofol
- A study of pediatric patients found the total patient sedation times to be shorter (3 minutes) with the combined ketamine and propofol regimen compared with ketamine alone[6]
- Dose: 0.5mg/kg propofol with 0.5mg/kg ketamine (may be mixed in same syringe or given separately)
Dexmedetomidine
- 1 mcg/kg loading dose followed by 0.2-1 mcg/kg/hr maintenance dose
- Side effects include bradycardia and hypotension.
- Avoid in patients with heart blocks
- May need to supplement with 1-2 mg of midazolam
Etomidate
- 0.1mg/kg one time dosing
- Max: 10mg
- Minimal respiratory depression but decrease blood pressure and heart rate (alpha2 agonism)
