Why Would Propofol, Versed And Precedex Be Given Together?
Why would a patient be given 3 different sedating drips of propofol, Versed and Precedex running simultaneously, in addition to ativan pushes ? Why all three ? And is it possible to give an overdose of saline and causing edema which leads to very high blood pressure and death by stroke while in a drug induced coma ? Nevermind, I thought the questions were free.
