What was the sedation medicine they put into IV at emergency room?

Midazolam (Versed)

Midazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine that is commonly used for sedation in a variety of medical settings, including the emergency room. It works by slowing down the activity of the central nervous system, which can produce a calming effect and help to relieve anxiety. Midazolam can be given intravenously (IV), intramuscularly (IM), or orally. The onset of action is rapid, with peak effects occurring within 1-2 minutes after IV administration. The duration of action is also relatively short, with most effects lasting for 2-4 hours.

Midazolam is generally well-tolerated, with the most common side effects being drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea. However, it can also cause more serious side effects, such as respiratory depression, hypotension, and seizures. Therefore, it is important for midazolam to be administered by trained medical personnel who can monitor the patient's condition closely.

Midazolam is often used in combination with other medications, such as opioids, to provide deeper sedation or analgesia. It can also be used to sedate patients for procedures such as endoscopies or colonoscopies.
