Case study 3 Paramedics had to perform an emergency endotracheal
intubation on a 33-year-old male. The estimated transportation time
was 45 minutes, so sedation was needed to maintain the ETT. The
paramedics had the choice of delivering morphine + midazolam OR
propofol alone.
3.1What are the similarities and differences between the
mechanism of action of midazolam and that of propofol? (max. 200

3.2 According to the scientific literature, how does the side
effect profile of the morphine + midazolam combination compare to
that of propofol? (max. 200 words)
