SafER PSA – Procedural sedation and analgesia for Emergency Physicians
REGISTRATION IS FULL
Format
This pre-course is offered in a live one-day format on
Saturday October 15 at the Congress center in Berlin.
Objectives
Procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) is widely administered by emergency physicians, in order to perform painful or uncomfortable procedures in the Accident and 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 over 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. After an introduction with some short presentations we will mainly train with simulated patients in hands-on workshops.
