PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - Sedation and analgesia comprise a wide range of states; from anxiolysis to general anesthesia. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) has defined four levels of sedation: minimal, moderate, deep, and general. These levels are defined by four physiologic responses: responsiveness, airway, spontaneous ventilation, and cardiovascular function (see Chapter 90). Given the wide range of environments and settings that anesthesia can be delivered, the ASA developed guidelines to guide the practice of sedation and analgesia by non-anesthesia providers.
