Podcast #408: Go the hell to sleep

Author: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Recent study showed efficacy 5mg IM midazolam > 10mg IM olanzapine > 10mg IM haloperidol for quickly sedating an agitated patient
  • If you have access, ketamine intravenous is the fastest
  • Olanzapine should be used with caution in elderly patients because of its anticholinergic properties
  • Ketamine can transiently worsen psychosis in some mental illness
  • Haloperidol is contraindicated in patients with prolonged QT
  • Olanzapine can be safely given intravenous as another option to your sedating arsenal
