Intranasal dexmedetomidine is a versatile and safe sedative, offering “cooperative” sedation ideal for non-painful procedures. Its effects start within 7 to 15 minutes and last up to 30 minutes. Minimal side effects make it preferable to benzodiazepines. Doses of 1-2 mcg/kg are effective for minimal sedation, especially in imaging and minor laceration repairs.
