Safer Sedation/Analgesia by Non-Anesthesiologists-May 2017

Chicago, IL US
May 3, 2017
The basic science surrounding sedation is constantly evolving, and physicians who are not specialists in anesthesiology cannot possibly remain updated on every development in this area. Training in the relevant pharmacology and intra-procedure monitoring is needed to safely provide moderate sedation to patients.
 
The goal of this activity is to help learners identify potential risks to giving a patient moderate or deep sedation and how to rescue patients from unintended consequences of sedation.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for physicians and other allied health professionals interested in the care of routine patients undergoing moderate sedation care.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, the participants should be able to:

  • List monitoring requirements of safe sedation and the devices used during the process;
  • Discuss basic pharmacology of sedative and analgesic agents and their reversal agents;
  • Describe how to perform airway rescue maneuvers to support ventilation.
