Utilizing GV 20 for Sedation Protocols with Darci Palmer

In this episode, we’re chatting with Darci Palmer, CVT, VTS (Anesthesia & Analgesia), about a simple but powerful tool you can add to your sedation toolbox: the GV 20 acupuncture point. Darci breaks down how and why GV 20 can help take the edge off for anxious patients, support smoother sedation, and make handling easier for both patients and staff. She shares practical tips, real-life examples, and how this technique can work alongside your usual drug protocols...not replace them. If you’re curious about low-stress handling, multimodal sedation, or just want another option for those tricky patients, this is an episode you won’t want to miss! References mentioned:
