Sedative agents
- Propofol
- Opioids
- Benzodiazepines
- Dexmedetomidine
- Ketamine
- Haloperidol and other tranquilizers
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
Propofol/Ketamine (Ketofol)
- 1:1 mixture of ketamine and propofol[1]
- Theorized that side-effect profiles counter one another
- Dose: 0.5mg/kg propofol with 0.5mg/kg ketamine (may be mixed in same syringe)
