What would you prepare and how would you give it?

DOES FASTING MATTER AND DRUG CHOICE??
![Page 24: Disturbed Patient Retrievals' by Minh Le Cong (Feb 2012)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/54c5cadc4a79591b7e8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Let’s try an example
•37yo woman with acute
suicidal ideation, refusing
admission
•PMH – antisocial personality
disorder, past conviction for
stabbing police officer
![Page 25: Disturbed Patient Retrievals' by Minh Le Cong (Feb 2012)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/54c5cadc4a79591b7e8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
•PMH : sleep apnoea, obesity
•OE: BMI 40, BP 120/60,
SaO2 99% on air
•Handover : cooperative
with IV access, demanding
cigarette

My approach
![Page 27: Disturbed Patient Retrievals' by Minh Le Cong (Feb 2012)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/54c5cadc4a79591b7e8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Run it like procedural sedation
•Set up for RSI..you may
need it
•Ketamine infusion
(adjunctive midazolam prn)
•Non invasive capnography
![Page 28: Disturbed Patient Retrievals' by Minh Le Cong (Feb 2012)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/54c5cadc4a79591b7e8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

ON ketamine 80mg/hr
![Page 30: Disturbed Patient Retrievals' by Minh Le Cong (Feb 2012)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/54c5cadc4a79591b7e8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Restraints on, infusion running, more sedation ready
![Page 31: Disturbed Patient Retrievals' by Minh Le Cong (Feb 2012)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051819/54c5cadc4a79591b7e8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Use a sedation score
