Comparison of Bolus Dosing of Methohexital and Propofol in Elective Direct Current Cardioversion
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022 Background Methohexital and propofol can both be used as sedation for direct current cardioversion (DCCV). However, there are limited data comparing these medications in this setting. We hypothesized that patients receiving methohexital for elective DCCV
