Description
Sedation is a vital tool for allowing investigations and procedures to be performed without full anaesthesia. However, demand for sedation greatly outstrips the supply of trained anaesthetists.
This book provides a sound understanding of the basic sciences involved in sedation, as well as an intimate knowledge of the required standards of practice. It is a highly practical handbook that covers topics such as patient selection and assessment, pharmacology, resuscitation competencies, monitoring equipment, and legal issues.
With its focus on safe practice and its emphasis on clinical scenarios, this book is ideal for both experienced and novice practitioners in the field of sedation. It offers a unique universal introduction to the subject, making it an essential resource for those from any clinical background.
