Moderate Sedation for Physicians & LIP's - Recertification

This course is for providers that have completed the Moderate Sedation course in the past and need to complete again to become recertified. Certification expires 2 years from the date of completion. Providers must complete course again before certification expires if chosen to keep privileges for minimal or moderate sedation.

Criteria to request the special privilege of minimal or moderate sedation may be met by completing this Moderate Sedation CME Program.

This activity is intended to provide the education and information necessary for non-anesthesiologists to perform minimal or moderate sedation.  The provider of minimal or moderate sedation should have the knowledge of the medications used, patient assessment and examinations, methods of caring for monitoring the patient throughout the procedure, identifying and treating potential complications. This program outlines how the participant can apply this knowledge to adequately and safely perform moderate sedation.

Moderate sedation is being used for patients undergoing a variety of diagnostic tests and procedures, not only in surgery but in other areas: Ambulatory clinics, radiology, emergency department, cardiac catheterization, outpatient, Intensive Care Unit (ICU), electrophysiology labs, and physician offices. Examples of procedures in which moderate sedation is used include, but are not limited to: bronchoscopy, gastroscopy, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, angioplasty, reduction of dislocations, suturing of lacerations, incision and drainage of abscesses, synchronized cardioversion, transesophageal echocardiograms, breast biopsies, carpal tunnel release, bunions, orthopedic hardware removal and cystoscopy.

This CME activity is primarily directed at moderate sedation for ADULT patients, though much of the information is applicable to all populations.
