The use of conscious sedation is becoming more common; it may be administered
by medical personnel without formal education in the procedure. This
text for physicians, nurses, and students in any specialty covers the
relevant major medical issues to provide safe conscious sedation or
parenteral analgesia. Topics include pharmacology, reversal,
preprocedure evaluation, and sedation in specific populations (such as
the elderly and children) and situations (outpatient settings, the
emergency room, the intensive care unit). The authors are associated
with the Department of Anesthesia, U. of California San Francisco
