A member asked:
Can methohexital (i know rare) be used for conscious sedation like propfol or versed where the person is sedated, has no memory but can still respond?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too short acting: this is used primarily for induction of anesthesia and is very short acting (a few minutes).
