I just love Versed. Fentanyl is a close second!

I give tons of versed and fentanyl in my unit for conscious sedation for bedside procedures.

I thought when I read the title that you were asking for a favorite drug to receive. I have only had fentanyl twice (for preops), but omigod it is truly lovely. I can see why it's a favorite drug of abuse for anesthesiologists. .

I had to have a gastroscopy earlier in the year for a GI bleed. I woke up from the proceedure feeling awesome. It wasnt til later when I read the Dx paper work and saw that fentanyl was part of the sedation used.

My favorite med to give? In my specialty, that is any medication that the patient willingly accepts :D

My favorite med for me to receive? Toradol. I can't take narcotic pain relievers, so if I do need something industrial-strength, Toradol works wonders for me.

Dilauded push. In the PACU it is the difference between a patient screaming with 10/10 pain and a peaceful sleep.

As a former person who met that criteria, thank you! That must be what they gave me, because It shut me the hell up. haha

I had a combo of versed and fentanyl when I had a liver biopsy this year, I call them the "happy drugs". I felt like that girl in "Sixteen Candles" who took all that valium on her wedding day.

OMG, it takes you from "I'm so nervous, this is horrible" to "Gimmie that thing, I'll do it for ya!"
