Official Title: Pilot Study of Sedation With Propofol in Refractory Pains Due to Care in Palliative Care Unit
Brief Summary:
In the palliative care unit, certain patients suffer from pain associated with medical procedures/care which is poorly controlled by antalgics. These situations may necessitate temporary sedation to improve comfort and facilitate treatment. No proven consensus exists, either in the literature or in clinical studies conducted, on the choice of sedative agent however Midazolam is the general recommendation.
The investigators believe that Propofol could be used in this instance
