  • Summary

    Today, there are an increasing number of procedures requiring moderate and deep sedation being performed outside the surgical suite. As a result, qualified non-anesthesia providers are administering varying levels of sedation to patients for a variety of diagnostic, therapeutic, and/or surgical procedures. Practitioners should provide patients with the benefits of sedation and/or analgesia while minimizing the associated risks. To do so, providers should understand the pharmacology of the agents being administered as well as the role of pharmacologic antagonists for opioids and benzodiazepines. Today’s practitioners are equipped with an abundance of versatile sedative agents that can be used alone and in combination. Furthermore, combinations of sedative and analgesics should be administered as appropriate for the procedure being performed and the condition of the patient. Policies and standards regarding administration of sedation and analgesia by non-anesthesia providers are addressed elsewhere in the book. This chapter focuses on the pharmacology of the drugs most used to provide moderate and deep sedation and their available reversal agents.

  • With the number of surgical procedures requiring sedation increasing every year, most hospitals and other facilities now have a procedural (moderate/deep) sedation program. The third edition of this popular handbook provides concise, practical, and evidence-based guidance on safe and effective procedural sedation. Featuring contributions from national experts, chapters cover the description/definition of sedation levels, patient evaluation, pharmacology, legal and quality assurance issues, as well as sedation for specific populations (ambulatory/office settings, elderly, pediatric, ICU, emergency room, endoscopy, reproductive technologies). The book also reviews the specific clinical and administrative considerations for the nursing and PA staff often involved in administering sedation. Comprehensively updated to incorporate the most current, evidence-based information including updates to existing guidelines, patient outcomes data from the most recently published papers and expanded sedation-related content in sub-specialties. An essential manual for a wide array of healthcare providers to develop safer techniques, policies, and procedures for moderate and sedation.
