Why is it important?
Sedation in diagnostic procedures is frequently provided by non qualified professionals, in the hope that "nothing will happen". Unfortunately, the literature has reported many cases of disaster with simple sedations. Hence, this should not be considered a "minor procedure", and should be left to qualified professionals.
Perspectives
Convince the health care providers to always ask qualified professionals, like the anesthetists, to care for any patients requiring sedation for diagnostic procedures.
