What would be used for conscious sedation for a 100 lb male patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sedation: Probably the two most popular durgs to use for concious sedation are propofol or versed. Propofol is usually dosed around 100mg for a 100lb male. Versed is usually dosed by giving 1mg over a minute and seeing effect. Probably 3 to 5mg would acheive sedation.
