Pediatric Procedural Sedation

The Pediatric Procedural Sedation module will focus on the care of children (newborns through adolescence) undergoing moderate sedation. The ultimate goal of procedural sedation is to provide pediatric patients with the benefits of sedation while minimizing the associated risks. The Pediatric Procedural Sedation module will provide clinical management guidelines and competencies for the purpose of ensuring uniformity of care provided to pediatric patients receiving procedural sedation. 

This online module is intended for Licensed Independent Practitioners (LIPs), including physicians and allied health professionals with appropriate credentials, such as certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) and advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNP). It is primarily geared toward providers at Swedish, but can be used by anyone with internet access.
