We're not talking about drugs that require a slow IV push. They're sedatives that can be pushed quickly IM.
Your kidding right? IM medications usually take at the least 30 minutes to an hour for circulation. That is why I chuckle when I see immediate results on television shows. Paralytics can be administered <30 seconds, especially in a violent situation, IV form.
Again, I think we are loosing site of the objective of violent patients, is to remove one self away from the patient and not even engage in behavior with them.
