Abstract
Introduction Procedural sedation is a common procedure conducted in emergency departments (ED) across the world, which requires patients to receive anesthesia/sedation medication in a controlled environment in order to alleviate pain, anxiety, and suffering, thereby allowing multiple procedures to be completed in a safe and timely manner. We deploy this technique for joint reductions, burns dressings, wound repairs, etc. in our ED. As a large tertiary referral hospital ED, we aimed to benchmark our practice for this high-acuity procedure against international standards. The main objective of our audit was to benchmark our current practice of procedural sedation against international standards from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM), United Kingdom, and American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) guidelines. As a secondary objective, we aimed to design and implement a multi-lingual procedural sedation leaflet for our patients and their carers. Methods A retrospective electronic healthcare records review was conducted from January 2019 to August 2022 following which a convenience sample of 100 patients was selected. Records audited were obtained from the Hospital Quality and Pharmacy departments. We selected patients from the data provided by selecting sedation medication used (ketamine, midazolam, propofol) and frequency documented as 'pre-procedure' (Pre-Proc). We included patients of all age groups who received procedural sedation in the emergency department and excluded inpatient encounters. After reviewing RCEM and ACEP guidance, we studied 14 criteria and standards. A team comprising physicians and hospital interpreters was set up to draft a procedural sedation leaflet. After hospital marketing team approval, these were published in Arabic, English, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, and Malayalam. Results Compliance percentages of the 14 criteria were calculated. A "traffic light" color scheme was used to inform the reader of areas of good practice and areas for improvement. Percentages of 90-100% (green) were considered compliant, 80-89% (amber) were partially compliant, and 79% or less (red) were non-compliant. Of the 14 criteria, 10 were fully compliant. One criterion was partially compliant and three criteria were non-compliant. Conclusion Overall, we performed well in in this audit with 100% compliance rates in many areas. We identified that we had no written discharge information leaflet for our patients and carers. We drafted a multi-lingual procedural sedation leaflet and stocked this in the department. Through face-to-face education, we re-trained physicians on the importance of documentation when adhering to safe practices around procedural sedation.

Abstract
Procedural sedation and analgesia are now considered standard care for managing pain and anxiety in pediatric dental patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures outside of the operating room. Anxiolysis, which combines both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches, plays a significant role in procedural sedation. Non-pharmacologic interventions such as Behavior Management Technology can help reduce preprocedural agitation, ease the transition to sedation, reduce the required amount of medication for effective sedation, and decrease the occurrence of adverse events. As the introduction of novel sedative regimen and methods in pediatric dentistry, the potential role of mainstay sedatives administered by new routes, for new indications, and with new delivery techniques, should be considered. The purpose of this paper is to examine and discuss the current state of sedation techniques in pediatric dentistry.

Abstract
We have several major concerns about this article [Guastella et al 2021]. Although it states that it is about palliative sedation, it is not. Rather, it is about the French Claeys Leonetti Law about Continuous Deep Sedation (CDS) at the end of life [Loi n°2016-87].

Abstract
We read with interest the letter by Twycross and al on our article recently published in BMC Palliative Care. The authors suggest that the term palliative sedation has been used inappropriately and they consider that in the situation described the sedation was a procedural one rather than a continuous deep sedation. We strongly disagree with this point of view. In an end-of-life situation, the priorities are the patient's comfort, pain and anxiety. This type of sedation does not have the characteristics of procedural sedation described in anaesthesia. The French Clayes Leonetti law makes it possible to clarify the intention of the sedation in end-of-life situations.

Abstract
Hyper- and hypotensive emergencies represent some of the most severe clinical issues that can occur during or around an interventional radiology procedure. While some patients are known to be more predisposed to cardiovascular collapse, nearly all patients are at risk for such an outcome. This is particularly true of patients undergoing moderate sedation, with the possibility of cardiovascular compromise occurring not just due to the underlying pathology for which the patient is being treated, but as a complication of sedation itself. Understanding the underlying cause of hyper- or hypotension is paramount to performing an appropriate and timely intervention. While the underlying cause is being corrected-if possible-the changes in blood pressure themselves may need to be intervened upon to maintain cardiovascular stability in these patients. Interventional radiologists must be familiar with measures taken to correct hyper- or hypotensive emergencies, including the most commonly used medications to treat these disorders. This article discusses the most common etiologies of such clinical scenarios, and the most common interventions performed for these settings.

Br J Anaesth 2022; 128:186-197.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-maintained propofol TCI sedation (PMPS) allows patients to titrate their own target-controlled infusion (TCI) delivery of propofol sedation using a handheld button. The aim of this RCT was to compare PMPS with anaesthetist-controlled propofol TCI sedation (ACPS) in patients undergoing elective primary lower-limb arthroplasty surgery under spinal anaesthesia. METHODS In this single-centre open-label investigator-led study, adult patients were randomly assigned to either PMPS or ACPS during their surgery. Both sedation regimes used Schnider effect-site TCI modelling. The primary outcome measure was infusion rate adjusted for weight (expressed as mg kg-1 h-1). Secondary outcomes measures included depth of sedation, occurrence of sedation-related adverse events and time to medical readiness for discharge from the postanaesthsia care unit (PACU). RESULTS Eighty patients (48 female) were randomised. Subjects using PMPS used 39.3% less propofol during the sedation period compared with subjects in group ACPS (1.56 [0.57] vs 2.57 [1.33] mg kg-1 h-1; P<0.001), experienced fewer discrete episodes of deep sedation (0 vs 6; P=0.0256), fewer airway/breathing adverse events (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.94 [1.31-6.64]; P=0.009) and were ready for discharge from PACU more quickly (8.94 [5.5] vs 13.51 [7.2] min; P=0.0027). CONCLUSIONS Patient-maintained propofol sedation during lower-limb arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia results in reduced drug exposure and fewer episodes of sedation-related adverse events compared with anaesthetist-controlled propofol TCI sedation. To facilitate further investigation of this procedural sedation technique, PMPS-capable TCI infusion devices should be submitted for regulatory approval for clinical use.

Abstract
There has been a great increase in the number of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed in the emergency department (ED) setting over the past several decades. Most of these procedures are unscheduled, unplanned, and much more likely to be successful and result in a positive outcome when the child's pain, fear, anxiety, and movement are controlled. To promote patient quality and safety, increase the effectiveness and efficiency of care, and improve patient and caregiver satisfaction, there has been a proportionate increase in the number of pediatric procedural sedations performed in the ED. With proper education and skills verification, pediatric procedural sedation can be safely and efficaciously performed in the ED. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of pediatric analgesia, anxiolysis, and sedation to promote compassionate, evidence-based emergency care of children and optimize procedural performance and outcomes.

Abstract
This guideline updates and replaces the 5th edition of the Standards of Monitoring published in 2015. The aim of this document is to provide guidance on the minimum standards for monitoring of any patient undergoing anaesthesia or sedation under the care of an anaesthetist. The recommendations are primarily aimed at anaesthetists practising in the UK and Ireland, but it is recognised that these guidelines may also be of use in other areas of the world. Minimum standards for monitoring patients during anaesthesia and in the recovery phase are included. There is also guidance on monitoring patients undergoing sedation and during transfer. There are new sections specifically discussing capnography, sedation and regional anaesthesia. In addition, the indications for processed electroencephalogram and neuromuscular monitoring have been updated.
