Optimize Sedation Practices Enterprise-Wide
Committed to providing education and training to optimize patient outcomes, the American Red Cross Procedural Sedation for Adults and Pediatrics courses were developed in collaboration with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). These courses feature the most current science and evidence-based practices consistent with ASA and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines for safe sedation at a moderate level.
With a strong focus on patient safety and risk mitigation, these courses meet the moderate sedation standards and regulatory requirements as directed by the Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
