 
Anesthesia and Sedation: A Guide for New Jersey Physicians
Emergency physicians are frequently called upon to provide procedural sedation for the performance of diagnostic studies and painful or anxiety producing procedures. Procedural sedation and analgesia can be defined as the administration of drugs to obtund, dull, or reduce the intensity of pain or awareness. Many drugs are available that can be used alone or in combination to achieve the desired effect. The selection of appropriate agents and the safe administration of these drugs require knowledge of the pharmacokinetics and side effect profile of commonly used analgesics, anxiolytics, and sedative-hypnotic agents. The administration of procedural sedation is not without risk and should be performed by trained personnel in a setting in which the patient can be closely monitored. Many procedures performed by emergency physicians are time-sensitive; it is important to be able to discharge patients from the emergency department in a timely manner when the procedure is completed.
