Propofol will lead to hypotension and precedex will lead to bradycardia. Depending on the hemodynamics/vitals of the patient, this may lead you to choose one
The guidelines also recommend the use of either propofol or dexmedetomidine A clinical trial of propofol vs midazolam for procedural sedation
Propofol vs. midazolam: Propofol more rapid wake-up; equally effective sedation: Chamorro et al. 98 pts on MV 48 h: Propofol vs. midazolam: Propofol more rapid wake-up, more effective sedation: Barrientos-Vega et al. 108 med surg pts on MV 24 h (Spain) Propofol vs. midazolam: Propofol fewer days on MV, more cost-effective, equally
