Study Overview
Brief Summary
The use of procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) to accomplish painful procedures in the emergency department (ED) has become a standard of practice over the last decade. Substantial variance exists regarding usage of medication for PSA, and many anesthetic agents have been proposed for this use.
To our knowledge no head to head study compared the clinical effectiveness, safety profile and amnestic properties of midazolam/ketamine vs. propofol regimens for PSA in the adult ED setting.
This prospective randomized trail can will help to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of Midazolam/katamine regimen for ED PSA in adults and will contribute to the discussion regarding propofol roll in the ED.

Arms & Interventions
midazolam/ketamine
Patients with orthopedic injuries requiring painful manipulation
Intervention: Ketamine/Midazolam (Drug)
propofol
Patients with orthopedic injuries requiring painful manipulation
Intervention: Propofol (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The effectiveness and safety profile of procedural sedation using propofol versus midazolam/ketamine.
Time Frame: outcome measures will be monitored continuously and will be documented every few minutes from initiating sedation until the patient returns to his/her basic mental status
Secondary Outcomes
- The amnestic properties of procedural sedation with propofol versus midazolam/ketamine.(Recall issues will be assessed after the patient returns to his/her basic mental status and within 72 hours from the procedure (either on a follow up visit or by a phone call))
