So Versed causes respiratory depression? Why would they choose this to mix with an opiate?
I don't think Versed/midazolam, or any bezno in and of itself causes much respiratory depression. I may be wrong though
Adults and Pediatrics: Intravenous VERSED has been associated with respiratory depression and respiratory arrest, especially when used for sedation in noncritical care settings. In some cases, where this was not recognized promptly and treated effectively, death or hypoxic encephalopathy has resulted. Intravenous VERSED should be used only in hospital or ambulatory care settings, including physicians' and dental offices, that provide for continuous monitoring of respiratory and cardiac function, ie, pulse oximetry. Immediate availability of resuscitative drugs and age- and size-appropriate equipment for bag/valve/mask ventilation and intubation, and personnel trained in their use and skilled in airway management should be assured (see WARNINGS ). For deeply sedated pediatric patients, a dedicated individual, other than the practitioner performing the procedure, should monitor the patient throughout the procedure
I don't think Versed/midazolam, or any bezno in and of itself causes much respiratory depression.

Best of all, I have a family history of colon cancer, which necessitates regular colonoscopies, so I can look forward to getting that delicious shot every couple of years for the rest of my life!![]()
