Summary
In the palliative care unit, certain patients suffer from pain associated with medical
procedures/care which is poorly controlled by antalgics. These situations may necessitate
temporary sedation to improve comfort and facilitate treatment. No proven consensus exists,
either in the literature or in clinical studies conducted, on the choice of sedative agent
however Midazolam is the general recommendation.
The investigators believe that Propofol could be used in this instance
