Procedural Sedation and Analgesia in Adults and Children, Hands-On Workshop
Format
This is one day pre-course taking place on Saturday 12 October at the Congress center in Copenhaguen. The morning session is dedicated to PSA peadiatrics from 8:30 – 12:30 CEST and the afternoon session from 13:30 – 17:45 to PSA in adults..
For who
Emergency physicians and Paediatric Emergency physicians
Morning session
PSA Peadiatrics from 8:30 to 12:30 CEST
Objectives
This half-a-day, hands-on workshop empowers physicians with practical knowledge for ensuring safe sedation practices in pediatric emergency settings. The workshop places a strong emphasis on furnishing physicians with effective strategies to identify and manage sedation-related adverse events.
Overview
The workshop consists of simulation scenarios. The simulation training is divided into three segments, which include two scenarios employing high-fidelity patient simulators and one scenario featuring a human patient simulator (actress). Before the course, participants will have a 3-hour interactive ZOOM discussion covering acute paediatric pain and distress, pharmacology, strategies to prevent and identify sedation adverse events, and intervention techniques. This session follows a formal tutorial format.

Afternoon session
PSA in Adults
Objectives
The main focus of this course is to instruct participants on how to ensure up to date knowledge and skills to safely administer Procedural Sedation & Analgesia in the Emergency Department to adults.
Topics:
- To learn and practice a systematic approach towards a patient in need of PSA.
- To establish familiarity with different pharmacological agents and non-pharmacological techniques used in PSA.
- To gain the skillset to treat possible complications.
- To review and solidify in practice different CRM principals involved in PSA.
- To ensure knowledge of up to date guidelines regarding PSA, including recognition of limitations.
Overview
OVERVIEW Brief description of course format and/or content:
Procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) is widely administered by emergency physicians, in order to perform painful or uncomfortable procedures in the Emergency department.
PSA is significant associated with complications and must be seen as a high risk procedure. Due to the inherent risks, it is important that doctors are aware of and follow available national, international and local guidelines.
Furthermore it is crucial that adequate training should be followed to ensure the knowledge and skills to safely administer PSA and to treat possible complications.
With this course, we will give the participants an overview of existing national and international guidelines, show them how to prepare the patient and the environment to perform safe PSA on the Accident and Emergency department and how to avoid and treat the most common complications related to PSA. The course contains an e-learning and a book, both of which will be available as study material before the course.
After introduction to the different topics we will actively discuss these in tabletops and spend all morning hands-on doing patient simulations training.
