Abstract

Propofol is rapidly becoming one of the most popular procedural sedation and analgesia agents in emergency medicine. However, in many hospitals emergency physicians lack access to this potent sedative. This article details the evidence and politics underlying this area of controversy, the nature and authority of hospital-wide sedation policies, and discussion of the most common criticisms of emergency department use of propofol.
