This is the dosage information I could find ... but healthcare professionals administering it will know the full details.

Dosage and Administration
Initiation of Procedural Sedation
Adults

IV
Loading dose

1 mcg/kg over 10 min, including awake fiberoptic intubation patients. For patients older than 65 yr of age and for less invasive procedures (eg, ophthalmic surgery), a loading dose of 0.5 mcg/kg over 10 min may be suitable. Consider a dose reduction in patients with impaired hepatic or renal function.
Maintenance dose
