The practice of minimal and moderate sedation is dynamic and requires continual education to modernize techniques and safely treat an increasingly medically complex patient pool. This program will review essential pharmacology concepts, complications management, patient monitoring, treatment of special populations (pediatric, geriatric, obese) and more while providing the latest updates germane to safe sedation practice. Additionally, this program may assist with meeting requirements for various states’ permit renewal processes.*
*Continuing education credits issued for participation in the CE activities may not apply towards license renewal in all jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of each participant to verify the CE requirements of his/her licensing or regulatory agency. The AAP cautions participants for this CE activity about the potential risks of using limited knowledge when incorporating new techniques and procedures in their practice.
- Empower the audience to fully understand the scientific basis for use of newer sedative drugs and drug classes via review of relevant pharmacologic principles and current published literature.
- Review the risks, benefits and indications for all (new and old) sedative drug classes appropriate for moderate sedation practice, while simultaneously encouraging the safe incorporation of modern sedatives into established sedation regimens.
