Pre-medication for EMG?

Benjamin Sucher1/30/19 7:41 PM (CST)

We have a new EMG doc joining the lab who suggested premedicating patients with Xanax. I have not used this approach as I never thought it was necessary or indicated, and wondered if anyone else was doing it or had any experience to share. Our lab only receives EMG referrals (on adults, no peds), and typically we would not have seen the patient before the visit, so we would need to rely on the referring physician for any prescribing.

AANEM Connect Terms of Use

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
