What drugs are typically used in conscious iv sedation?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many choices: This will vary from place to place and from doctor to doctor but will typically be a narcotic (for pain)and a benzodiazapene (for relaxation and amnesia). We usually use fentanyl (narcotic) and versed (benzo).
