Overview:
Physicians who use moderate sedation must be able to ease the patient's anxiety and fear with analgesia. Moderate sedation is taking care of patients taking sedative or analgesic medication.
Participants in the course will be at assessing the patient's need for conscious sedation and will be able to review the pharmacology and administration of the most commonly employed sedatives. A proper airway management system and evaluating the possibility of respiratory problems are crucial components of the care of conscious sedation. This course meets Baptist Health Medical Staff re-credentialing requirements.
