Abstract

Sedation of patients can only be accomplished safely if the physiologic effects of the sedative agents are continuously evaluated by a trained individual who is assisted by data provided by devices, that monitor the cardiopulmonary system (1). Since sedation is on a continuum from the awake and alert state to general anesthesia, the monitors employed during sedation should be similar to those used during the provision of anesthesia. More than 15 years ago, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) published standards for monitoring during anesthesia (2). These guidelines have been extended into the post-anesthesia care unit, and have more recently been applied to sedation (1,3). It is important that the safety standards for monitoring be maintained regardless of the individuals providing sedation or the specific environment. This chapter reviews the current guidelines for monitoring during sedation and the specific devices used to monitor patients, including a brief description of how they work, and concludes with special recommendations for monitoring during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
