Sedation: A Guide to Patient Management

Written by an acknowledged expert in the field, the book draws
on a wealth of clinical experience and ability.
Combines all aspects of sedation with essential theoretical and
technical instruction.
Techniques are divided into sections on pharmacology,
armamentarium, and technique and complications - described in
explicit detail that allows it to be used as a chairside
reference.
Pharmacosedation is covered in full, with discussions of oral,
rectal, and IM premedication, as well as nine chapters on
inhalation sedation and ten chapters on IV sedation.
Covers all of the components required by the ADA guidelines:
review of cardiovascular and respiratory physiology; selection
of agents; techniques of administration; and management of
complications and emergencies.
Step-by-step descriptions of inhalation sedation (nitrous oxide
and oxygen) and intravenous sedation provide a superb
clinical "picture" of the procedures.
Chapters on pediatric, geriatric and physically and medically
compromised patients offer valuable, up-to-date information on
the management of these special needs patients.
In-depth discussions of the pharmacology of commonly used
sedative agents allow the reader to fully understand properties
and characteristics of drugs used.
