Most gastroscopies are not painful, yet these patients routinely get sedation. Yet patients having painful bone marrow aspirations and bone marrow biopsies are offered only local anaesthetic which does not address pain occuring when bone is penetrated and marrow is aspirated. If any procedure causes patients to have pain, it is only humane to offer sufficient sedation.

This information is great. Thank you.

Please do a discussion of the complications of a Demerol-midazolam push for procedural sedation. Do hospitals require a full record of timing and dose of pushes, and all physiological and behavioral data? End-tidal CO2 monitoring is considered essential data during use of procedural sedation.

Ketamine is a dissociative drug, not considered a humane anesthetic, alone, in veterinary medicine, as it does not have significant analgesic efficacy. Why would human medicine even consider pushing ketamine, alone?

Sometimes, ketamine is used as an intramuscular, short-acting emergency restraint on an individual who is an imminent physical danger to themselves or others. However, this is often followed with other meds to address the underlying medical problem.

Greatly explained thank you so much doctor 💕
