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).

Dr Hegab and 3 doctors agreed
