TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Key Concepts in Safe Sedation A1 - Runnels, Sean A1 - George, Brian St. A2 - Johnson, Ken B. PY - 2015 T2 - Clinical Pharmacology for Anesthesiology AB - Although widely utilized in a variety of clinical venues and delivered by nurses and physicians with a broad range of clinical training and experience, core principles guiding safe sedation practice are not well established. Sedation practices (ie, drug choice and dose, patient preparation, procedure room equipment for safe sedation delivery, patient monitoring standards, practitioner training requirements, sedation goals) are often left to the discretion of the individual sedation practitioner and are not well regulated. The chapter will discuss core concepts of anesthetic pharmacology that apply to sedation practice (Table 27–1) that sedation practitioners should consider prior to administering sedatives and analgesics.
