Improve the success of endoscopic procedures with safe and effective administration of sedatives and analgesics. Learn more about sustaining sedation levels, matching proper agents to patients and procedures, and ensuring overall excellence in anesthesia care.
Safe, effective sedation and analgesia are important factors in successful gastroenterological endoscopic procedures. Learn about intravenous sedation options and proper sedation levels that can help improve patient safety, comfort, and cooperation.
Use sedation scales and scoring systems to help you read patient cues and determine where they are on the continuum of consciousness. With sedation and analgesia, consciousness can range from minimal sedation (anxiolysis) to monitored anesthesia care.
Safely and effectively use sedative and analgesic agents during endoscopic procedures by understanding associated pharmacokinetics, risk profiles and new technologies. Read about commonly used medications and regimens or explore new methods and technologies for delivery.
