Wasn’t ketamine. Was propofol and versed.

I’ve done so many procedural sedations in my career and don’t remember kids being super angry when they come out of sedation. My own kiddo had a procedure and came out super angry. So is this normal? Do I just miss it since I don’t usually come back to check on patients after the procedure is...

I had this 3 years out. Now I’m in my 8th year and feel like I can do this job in my sleep. Are you 100 percent sure it’s not your practice environment? Why not try a lower volume ER before jumping ship? Unless you are totally happy with your new plan of course.

I waited ten years for an answer and now someone is asking about corneas. Jk 😂

Oh man, I’m so predictable of a person. I made the exact same thread in 2014. Haha no replies in that thread so here is me asking again ten years later.

I just realized I haven’t tubed a kid in ages and need to review. So, what meds do you guys routinely use? What device? I realized I haven’t done DL in ages. Any good tips? What are some good resources for me to review? I’m turning into a dinosaur.
