The appropriate sedation technique is crucial to the comfort and safety of many patients undergoing a wide spectrum of clinical procedures. Both anaesthetists and non-anaesthetists are responsible for implementing sedation and it is therefore essential that all staff involved are familiar with current sedation practice. With this in mind, the editors, J G Whitham and M R Vinik bring together the knowledge and current understanding of this field. The book is divided into three parts. The first covers the basic principles of sedation that are relevant to all clinical situations, such as pharmacology, drug delivery, safety and post-procedural management. This is followed by a practice-orientated section that discusses care pathways, provides a breakdown of practice method and gives recommendations for good practice. The final section covers the application of sedatives in the areas of medicine, surgery and interventional radiology, and present practical protocols for sedative administration in these very different clinical situations. The third series in this book accompanies Day-Case Anaesthesia and Sedation and Sedation and Analgesia in the Critically Ill. It is intended that the book will become a standard reference for all those involved in sedation, both physicians and supporting staff. The manual aims to become the definitive reference work on sedation for all staff involved in administering sedative agents, including anaesthetists, physicians, radiologists and support staff. The appropriate sedation technique is crucial to the comfort and safety of patients undergoing a wide spectrum of clinical procedures. The general principles of sedative use and protocols for good practice, information that is relevant in all clinical situations is presented in the first two sections, and the final section looks at sedation and its application in medicine, surgery and interventional radiology.
