If you’d like to modify the checklist for your institution, I can send you the original layout (omnigraffle format) and tables (excel format).

Update: Egg and soy allergy is NOT a contraindication to propofol.

Update: ACEP’s procedural sedation clinical policy stipulates “Do not delay procedural sedation in adults or pediatrics in the ED based on fasting time. Preprocedural fasting for any duration has not demonstrated a reduction in the risk of emesis or aspiration when administering procedural sedation and analgesia.” See the harms of fasting.
