Summary
This study investigates how often adults remember events during procedural sedation with propofol in the emergency department, specifically for fracture or joint dislocation reduction. About 250 participants will be asked a questionnaire the day after sedation to check for any recall. The goal is to better understand the incidence of awareness during this common procedure.
