Abstract
Procedural sedation is a common practice in Emergency Medicine. Propofol has supplanted benzodiazepines in many centers as the drug of choice for procedural sedation. This article reports a case of seizure-like activity in an elderly man undergoing procedural sedation for a fracture reduction. The seizure-like activity was attributed to propofol. A review of the literature is discussed. When using propofol for sedation one should be aware of the risk of seizure-like activity.Entities:
