Precedex Outside the ICU

Has anyone ever seen precedex drips used to calm anxious/confused patients outside the ICU?
No, and it would make me extremely uncomfortable.

No. I have see a few doses given in PACU.

NO! and I wouldn't accept a patient on the gtt unless they were in an ICU setting!

My hospital's policy is they must be monitored. So ICU, PCU, or tele. And PACU is considered ICU level of care, so they could have it as someone else mentioned.
