Re: Max dose of Versed?
I recently got to use Precedex on a patient for the first time, and I love it. Usually when this girl was having pain, she would wig out and 2 mg of morphine wouldn't touch her. With Precedex, the 2 mg actually did the trick.
I spoke with a pharmacy student doing research on Precedex and she says they are doing trials of dosing in periods longer than 24 hours... I hope they pan out because propofol has so many side affects, and it would be nice to have a 3rd option for sedation
