So some do some bad things in Great Britain with Midazolam...Yawwwn, horrible....perhaps we should nuke them from orbit. So what about the USA?
Midazolam isn’t widely used in the USA for continuous sedation drips on vented patients; it might be used for refractory cases where the usual drugs aren’t enough or don’t work on certain patients such as those patients with heavy past etoh or opiate use. Fentanyl, Precedex, and Propofol are what we use most often in our neck of the woods. Nimbex, a paralytic drip is frequently used as well.
