Target Audience
The target audience for the SPS Sedation Provider Course® includes health care providers who have clinical experience in the area of pediatric sedation outside the operating room and who desire to enhance their knowledge and clinical competency in the field. This group includes physicians, dentists, nurses and advance-practice nurses involved in the field of pediatric sedation.
Statement of Need
This course is designed to meet the needs of the sedation provider seeking both simulation-based training and didactic content focused on patient selection, patient safety, pharmacology and the management of common adverse events. As significant adverse events are rare, this “hands-on” model of training is especially pertinent.
Purpose
Participants will gain hands-on experience, critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding regarding issues related to the assessment of sedation patients, development of a sedation plan, recognition and management of both common and life-threatening adverse events in sedation practice and sedation pharmacology. This course is designed to provide practitioners with the knowledge and skills that promote safe and effective high-quality procedural sedation to children.
Objectives
The goal of the provider course is to provide practitioners with the knowledge, competencies and tools to promote high quality procedural sedation to children. Upon successful completion of this course, the registrant should be able to:
1. Perform a pre-sedation risk assessment effectively;
2. Describe the effects of sedation on pediatric airway tone and respiratory physiology
3. Explain the principles of and interpret the information from pulse oximetry and capnography monitoring;
4. Diagnose and manage adverse airway and cardiopulmonary events during sedation;
5. Demonstrate knowledge of the pharmacology and uses of common sedative/analgesic drugs;
6. Demonstrate hands-on critical competencies related to sedated pediatric patients including all aspects of airway management, ventilation, resource management, and appropriate use of resuscitative measures;
7. Describe effective teamwork dynamics and communications skills required by pediatric sedation teams; and
8. Develop a systematic and rational approach to pediatric sedation.
