Does anyone else here think Versed is basically useless on the truck in most cases? My system does not have RSI or Etomidate. In our narc box: Morphine, Versed, Valium.
For cardioversion: If I'm cardioverting someone, the patient is usually too unstable for the Versed in the first place. Or it kicks in afterwards.
For intubation: Versed on its own...doesn't really do anything. It just doesn't really knock people down enough to make a difference.
I know some people give both morphine and versed and that it tends to work a little better for intubation.
Thoughts?
