NOTES:
Released: July 1, 2004; Reviewed and Updated: June 30, 2007; Expires: June 30, 2010.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After completing this activity and reviewing the accompanying materials, the Sedation Policy and its Appendices, participants demonstrate that they should be able to:
* Assess a patient and relative risks prior to a procedure that involves sedation;
* List the medications commonly used for sedation;
* Operate monitors and document patient status during the procedure and recovery;
* Recognize and effectively treat airway compromise;
* Intervene in a timely fashion to rescue and resuscitate the patient as needed;
* Participate in data gathering and performance improvement activities.
After participants complete the course and review the accompanying materials, they are asked to take a 20-question post-test and demonstrate that they participated in the program. A passing grade of 80% (16 correct of 20) is required to become approved to administer sedation in the North Shore - Long Island Jewish Health System. If participants fail the test, they review the course and retake the test until a passing grade of 80% is achieved.
This software program automatically grades the tests. After passing the test, participants fill out the Sedation Compliance Statement, and become approved to administer sedation in the North Shore - Long Island Jewish Health System for a period of two years beginning when they pass the test and submit the results to the Department of Anesthesiology.
The post-test and evaluation of the program will also be the mechanism by which participants receive Continuing Medical (CME) &/or Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credit.
