Moderation Sedation Course

Changes in the delivery of health care and advances in technology have moved many surgical procedures out of the traditional operating room. As such, physicians in a wide variety of settings are increasingly using moderate sedation/analgesia (often referred to as conscious sedation). It is important to have knowledge and skill in dealing with the potential complications of moderate sedation.

The purpose of this course is to privilege all non-anesthesiologist physicians to safely and effectively induce moderate sedation and to familiarize them with applicable standards.

Goals of Moderation Sedation Course were to:

• Relieve anxiety.
• Minimize physical pain, discomfort & negative psychological responses by providing Sedation, amnesia and analgesia, as needed, during painful or uncomfortable procedures.
• Assess rapid safe return to highest possible health status following a procedure.

Participants who successfully complete, will be awarded with a certificate of participation.
