I've caught my mistake on the versed, sorry for the waste of time.

For those non-USA list members - what are the pharmacological names of these
drugs? Demerol I think I know, but Vistaril and Versed??

Thanks

we have an ongoing discussion at work...i have personally had
demerol/vistaril and fentanyl/versed for various procedures...i know that
demerol is out of fashion these days, but in my personal experience it was
perfect for what i underwent...yet i have colleagues who sware by morphine
..just curious as to what is most 'popular' among use in the list...does
it vary according to procedure? most used in my sphere of practice is a
combo of morphine and versed...comments?
