Abstract

Regulations surrounding the care of patients sedated in remote areas as well as by anesthesia and non-anesthesia trained providers are established by federal, state, local, and institutional guidelines. The guidelines established by the American Society of Anesthesiologists for the minimum setup and equipment for anesthetizing locations outside of the operating room provide a rational framework for setting up and maintaining a sedation suite. Establishing safety standards within the framework of a sedation suite may minimize the incidence of preventable errors during procedural sedation or during the procedure itself performed at remote locations.
