Update on Emergency Department Sedation
Procedural sedation is an important and required skill for emergency medicine providers. Performing procedural sedation allows providers to safely perform multiple procedures, such as reductions, suturing, and cardioversion. Multiple agents can be used for procedural sedation and should be chosen based on desired length of sedation and comorbidities, as well as the physician’s level of comfort.
