Used to lower lung secretions. Sorry about the situation you had to witness.
Scopolamine is a pretty useful drug. devils’ breath sounds much scarier. You could give scope to patient that was too unstable for other anesthetic agents. Was treating Gunshot victim with low and unstable blood pressure, initially got anesthetic of oxygen and paralytic. when he stabilized a bit we worked in some scopolamine to soothe our consciences. I hope he didn’t have any recall.
