Common practice..?

Dear sir, madam,

A 50 years old patient weighing 136 pounds, was administered several kinds of drugs during the night, and eventually died in the morning.  Here's the entire list of administered drugs:

01.30: 10mg tablet of Valium.
02.00: 2mg Lorazepam (Ativan), after dilution, into IV.
03.00: 2 mg Midazolam (Veresed), after dilution, into IV.
05.00: 2 mg Lorazepam (Ativan), after dilution, into IV.
07.30: 2mg of Midazolam (Versed), after dilution, into IV.
10.40: 25 mg of Propofol (Diprivan), diluted with Lidocaine (Xylocaine), via IV drip.

10.55: Patient stopped breathing and had a weak pulse.  .2 mg of Flumanezil (Anexate) was administered once, and CPR was performed.  Eventually the patient died.

Can you please tell me if administering this whole list of drugs and the followed procedures are common..?

Thank you for your time!

Sincerely, Monique

This method of administering these medications is common in patients admitted to the hospital to sedate them. It is commonly seen in the Intensive Care Unit to calm the patient if they are mechanically ventilated or the patient is hooked up to many machines to prevent them from pulling it out and hurting themselves. The procedure and which drugs to use are dependent on the hospital or practice you are at and their guidelines and protocols they have set up.
