They will take longer to have the effect on the patient vs. PO or IV.

No. Ativan is a Benzodiazepine, not a Barbitiurate. That said, Benzodiazepines, like Barbiturates are Schedule IV drugs - meaning it can and probably will be screened for in drug tests.

It depends on the purpose. For some procedures like setting a dislocated shoulder it's a combination of Fentanyl (a narcotic) and Versed (a benzodiazepine); at other times it's just Propofol which is also a narcotic. For patients suffering from acute chest pain it's not uncommon to administer Morphine because it calms the patient and decreases the pre-load and after-load on the heart. For pure agitation or acute alcohol withdrawal they'll usually administer an IV benzodiazepine such as Ativan or Diazepam. For larger combative patients it's usually impossible to obtain IV access; in that case I recommend a combination of Haldol 10mg, Ativan 2 mg, and Benadryl 50mg IM.
