Abstract
Procedural sedation is the administration of medication to obtund, dull, or reduce the intensity of pain or awareness associated with a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. Because registered nurses play a key role in ensuring patient safety during procedural sedation, it is essential they have the requisite knowledge and skills to provide safe, quality care. This paper describes the development, implementation, and outcomes of a course designed for nurses providing care to patients undergoing procedural sedation.
