DESCRIPTION

Respiratory compromise during conscious sedation is a matter of great concern. The delivery of sedatives and analgesics may cause respiratory insufficiency, arrest and even failure, making respiratory compromise a critical perioperative complication. 

Early identification of respiratory compromise through the continuous monitoring of oxygenation and/or ventilation may improve the effectiveness of clinical interventions. 

Continuous monitoring of both SpO2 and etCO2 can provide real-time information on the patient’s ventilator status and help with the early detection of respiratory compromise. 

Early detection of respiratory compromise allows for early intervention and the potential to save patient lives.

Audience

Healthcare providers (medical doctors, nurses and staff) being challenged to provide long-term procedural sedation in:

  • Anesthesia
  • Endoscopy 
  • Cardiology 
  • Radiology

OBJECTIVE

Participants will be able to: 

  • Apply procedural sedation using different approaches 
  • Recognize complication during procedural sedation 
  • Judge on the value of various monitoring technologies 
  •  Recognize the additional value of capnography during sedation
