TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Sedation for Interventional Pain Procedures A1 - Staats, Nancy A2 - Diwan, Sudhir A2 - Staats, Peter S. Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Atlas of Pain Medicine Procedures AB - Many patients with acute and chronic pain may require sedation for interventional pain procedures.Patients may have extreme anxiety about the pending procedure or be in so much pain that even positioning them without some analgesia and/or sedation becomes impractical.There is great variability in type of sedation required to perform minimally invasive procedures, and depends on the procedure, the surgeon, and the patient.Some physicians perform most procedures without any sedation, while other physicians may want deeper level of sedation for some or many of their procedures.The personnel may differ depending on the locations of the procedures performed. Sometimes, a sedation nurse (RN or other) trained in OR sedation administers the medication, and other times the sedation is administered by an anesthesiologist.The choice of anesthesia may differ depending on locations: (1) office-based procedures, (2) surgicenters, and (3) hospital.While both scenarios occur, it should be noted that current FDA recommendations state that propofol should only be administered by an individual trained in airway management (ie, anesthesiologist or CRNA).Currently, there is no consensus on the appropriate overall strategy.
