  1. What is Procedural Sedation? • Procedural Sedation also referred to as “moderate sedation/analgesia” or “conscious sedation” …. • “a drug-induced depression of consciousness during which individuals respond purposefully to verbal commands either alone or accompanied by light tactile stimulation. No interventions are required to maintain a patent airway, and spontaneous ventilation is adequate. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained.” • Joint Commission, 2001 • Complications of Procedural Sedation can include: • Hypoventilation, allergic or adverse reaction, abnormal cardiac function, deterioration in mental status.

  2. Examples of Procedural Sedation • In a Moderate Procedural Sedation the patient’s level of consciousness is altered, though response to verbal commands is still possible. • For a Deep Sedation the patient’s consciousness is altered and cannot be easily aroused, but can respond to purposeful or painful stimulation.

  3. Procedural Sedation is DEFINED by Patient’s Level of Conscious • Minimal (Anxiolysis)LOC 2 • Drug induced state, patient responds normally to verbal commands. • Moderate (Procedural Sedation)LOC 1 • Drug induced depression of consciousness, patient responds purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by light tactile stimulation. • Deep Sedation (requires special privileges!)LOC 0 • Drug induced depression of consciousness, patient cannot be easily aroused, but respond purposefully following repeated or painful stimulation. (Limited to ED, and Pediatric Sub specialists) • AnesthesiaLOC 0 • Drug induced loss of consciousness, patient is not arousable, even by painful stimulation.

  4. Scoring Patient’s Level of Conscious • Procedure & Anesthesia Scoring System (PASS) • Used before giving medication(s), during procedure, during recovery, and before discharge • Consists of 7 categories • Consciousness • Activity • Circulation • Respiration • O2 Sat • Pain • Emetic • All are scored using a point scale of 2, 1, 0

  5. PASS Assessment Scale Physiologic Assessment Scoring System • PASS Scoring • Score prior to sedation (all 7 elements) as baseline • Score at the conclusion of procedure • Score prior to discharge Note: Patient must meet pre-sedation PASS Score prior to discharge.

  6. WHAT is NOT Procedural Sedation? • Providing for comfort • Preventing predictable anxiety to a procedure or treatment by utilizing narcotics and anxiolytics in dosages appropriate to relieve pain and/or anxiety without altering the LOC • Non-invasive and routine procedures (dressing changes) • Procedure that takes so little time to perform that the fear of the procedure is often worse than the actual process • One type dose medication administration to relieve anticipated pain or anxiety for a particular patient (no titrating dose to “effect”) • Patient in ICU, intubated, and mechanically ventilated (airway is protected)

  7. WHAT is NOTProcedural Sedation? • Pain and/or anxiety management that may be performed on all inpatient units • Repetitive procedures (e.g. once daily) and a patient who is on a standard dose, or combination of medication that provides comfort • A change in medication dose that would potentially induce pain and/or anxiety Note:If patients have been on a medication regime in the ICU with Fentanyl/Versed, the physician should be consulted to determine if the choice of narcotics may be changed to an equianalgesic dosage of hydromorphone or morphine sulphate, and the midazolam changed to a non-amnesiac anxiolytic such as lorazepam or valium

  8. WHY Provide Procedural Sedation? • Allows patient to tolerate an unpleasant procedure while maintaining consciousness • Patient does not remember majority of procedure, awakens comfortable (depending on medications utilized) • Rapid return to presedation state • Uncomfortable and/or painful procedures can be performed safely utilizing procedural sedation • Patient safety during, and recovering from, sedation is VITAL!

  9. WHO can Provide Procedural Sedation? • Physicians must have current sedation privileges. An updated list can be accessed on the SD Credentialing Website: http://cred.zion.ca.kp.org • Residents may perform procedures only when the privileged attending physician is present • RNs with age-specific training in ACLS or PALSmay administer Procedural Sedation and recover the patient • MD will complete the Procedural Sedation Record Physician documentation (Health Connect), including auscultation of heart and lungs and airway assessment • RN will complete the Procedural sedation Record RN documentation (Health Connect)

  10. Procedural Sedation SETTING • Emergency Medications, Equipment & Supplies • Crash cart with defibrillator, O2, suction • Reversal agents (naloxone, flumazenil) • Pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor • Endotracheal tube (ET) CO2 monitoring device • Physical Environment • Emergency power outlets, or flash light • Telephone • Transportation after Sedation • By RN or MD

  11. Procedural Sedation Preparation • Consent needs to be obtained by physician for both the procedure and the sedation • Pre-sedation Assessment • Evaluation of Risk (American Society of Anesthesiologists ASA status) • PASS Scores • Sedation plan (medications ordered) • Time Out • Team members discuss any risks • Team members know roles and responsibilities • Patient Safety • Identify patient (2 identifiers), must have arm band • Site/side verified ASA StatusRisk Assessment Class I Healthy patient Class II Mild systemic disease, no functional limitation Class III Severe systemic disease that limits activity (not incapacitating) Class IV Incapacitating systemic disease that is a threat to life (Anesthesia consult) Class E Emergent

  12. Presedation Assessment • AMPLE • Allergies – medication, food, latex • Medications – presently taking • Past medical history • Last meal (NPO Guidelines) • Event leading to need for procedure • NPO Guidelines AGESolids & Non-Clear FluidsClear 0-6mo 4 hours 2-3 hours 6mo-3yrs 6 hours 2-3 hours 3yrs + 6-8 hours 2-3 hours

  13. Care During Sedation • EnsurePatientSAFETY • RN remains with patient at all times • RN responsibility is to monitor the patient – ensure safety • RN will NOT be expected to assist with the procedure • Maintain level of sedation that allows for continuous patent airway • Monitor patient’s response to medications • Assess vital signs q 15 minutes • Sedation plan (medications ordered) • Document • Use the Procedural Sedation Navigator(Health Connect)

  26. Medication Administration Requirements Clinical Library To find out more information about medications, visit KP’s Clinical Library at http://cl.kp.org. This resource includes information on medication: • Dosages • Routes • Therapeutic range • Pharmacologic classification • Mechanism of action • Safe use of clinical practice guidelines formularies

  27. Post Sedation Recovery and Care Ensure PatientSAFETY • RN remains with patient at all times • RN is responsible to monitor the patient – until pt. achieves his/her presedation LOC • If transferring the patient, the RN administering sedatives must accompany the patient, give a complete, concise report to the receiving RN responsible for further patient care • Monitor patient’s vital signs and pulse oximetry q 15 minutes until stable • Reorient patient to time and place • Limit stimuli to the patient (loud noises)

  28. Discharge Requirements Patient Must • Be discharged by a physician • Have adequate respiratory function and stable vital signs • Meet their preprocedural LOC, and return to their preprocedural status • Have their pain under control, and site stable without evidence of bleeding • Not be discharged for 20-30 minutes after last medication, longer if reversal agents given • Be discharged to a responsible driver and advised not to drive or use heavy machinery for at least 24 hours • Receive post-procedural written discharge instructions • Verbalize understanding of instructions and education (and/or responsible caregiver)

  29. Patient Safety Special Considerations Patient Special Considerations • Elderly patient’s may need more time for monitoring • Ensure a good intact gag reflex especially in children • Evaluate each INDIVIDUAL patient based on a number of considerations, not just meeting these outline criteria • Document time patient leaves the facility
