Sedative agents

Fentanyl/Versed

  • Designed for moderate sedation
    • If titrate to deep sedation, when painful stimulus stops may become apneic
  • Duration = 30min

Etomidate/Fentanyl

  • Similar to versed/fentanyl but better b/c of shorter duration of action
  • Good for brief sedation if don't have access to propofol
    • E.g. shoulder/hip reduction, cardioversion
  • Dose fentanyl first: 0.5-1mcg/kg
  • Etomidate 0.15mg/kg (8-10mg avg)
    • Wears off in 6min
