Designated areas for Moderate Sedation UCSD Medical Center SCVC Main Operating Room Same Day Surgery PACU and Procedural Treatment Unit (PTU) Intensive Care Unit and PCU Special Procedure Suite Emergency Department LEVELS OF SEDATION The objective of intravenous sedation policies for diagnostic and surgical procedures is that within all locations within the hospital, patients with the same health status can expect a comparable quality of care TJC Implications In patients of any age, even if one attempts moderate sedation, it can rapidly and easily become deep sedation or anesthesia Therefore, the practitioner who performs moderate sedation must assume that deep sedation or anesthesia can occur Level of vigilance must be maximal and Area in which patient is sedated must be fully equipped with monitoring equipment and appropriate personnel 6
Level of consciousness, solely, determines level of sedation not the drug or the route of administration. 4 levels of sedation are defined, but distinctions may obscure in practice. Level of sedation may change with time, and variable patient response all practitioners need to be prepared for patient that becomes sedated beyond expectations. Procedure Goals Accomplish the procedure Behavior control or immobility Patient safety Minimal physical discomfort and pain Minimal psychological response to procedure Rapid return to baseline state of consciousness Minimal Sedation (Anxiolysis) A drug induced state during which patients respond normally to verbal commands. Although cognitive function and coordination may be impaired, ventilatory and cardiovascular functions are unaffected. (UCSD Medial Center MCP 370.1 04/12) 7
Moderate Sedation A drug induced depression of consciousness during which the patients respond purposefully to verbal commands, either alone or accompanied by light tactile stimulation. No interventions are required to maintain patent airway and spontaneous ventilation is adequate. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained. (UCSD Medial Center MCP 370.1 04/12) Deep Sedation A drug induced depression of consciousness during which patients cannot be easily aroused, but respond purposefully following repeated or painful stimulation. May have impaired ability to maintain airway & ventilation. Cardiovascular function is usually maintained (UCSD Medial Center MCP 370.1 04/12) Anesthesia Consists of: General anesthesia Spinal or major regional anesthesia Drug induced loss of consciousness; pt not arousable Requires assistance to maintain airway Cardiovascular function may be impaired 8
ASA Classification of Physical Status ASA 1 = normal healthy patient ASA 2= mild systemic disease ASA3 = severe systemic disease ASA 4 = severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life ASA 5 = moribund, not expected to survive Sedation in the ICU Policy covers settings where patients receive moderate sedation for procedures. Includes additional sedatives and analgesics given to ICU patients that may or may not be receiving ICU sedation Does not cover sedatives or analgesics given for ICU sedation. (UCSD MCP 370.1 04/12) Indications for Moderate Sedation Administering sedative or narcotics for procedures 9
Position Statement on the Role of the Registered Nurse in the Management of Patients Receiving Intravenous Moderate Sedation for Short-term Therapeutic, Diagnostic or Surgical procedures Endorsed by: AACN, California BRN, ASPAN, AANA, ANA The RN who for any reason does not feel comfortable managing the care of a patient should consult an anesthesia provider and/or attending physician and/or the Charge RN Indications for Moderate Sedation Anesthesia Provider or RN? Consider: Patient anxiety History of drug or ETOH abuse Pediatric patient High acuity level or ASA level Resource Personnel for Moderate Sedation at UCSDMC Physicians certified in Moderate Sedation per the Delineation of Privileges form in the specific department PACU Registered Nurses who have completed competency Clinical Nurse Specialist/Educators 10
Monitoring and Support Equipment Adequate lighting Adequate space Adequate power outlets Reliable two way means of communication Ability to provide immediate changes in patient position including Trendelenburg Monitoring and Support Equipment Resuscitation equipment (Code blue cart/defibrillator) Oxygen source with at least 10 LPM flow and devices Functional BVM Functional suction Functional cardiac monitoring equipment ASA Pre-Procedure Fasting Guidelines Adults Solid food 6-8 hours Liquids 2-3 hours Factors that decrease gastric emptying Anxiety Opiods Trauma Pregnancy Intestinal obstruction 11

Translator ATT Translator Service (MCP 301.9) Documentation Requirements Pre-Procedure: Patient identification using two forms of identification (name and MR) Informed consent for the procedure documented by a physician Signed consent form for the procedure History and Physical Assessment > 24 hours but < 30 days needs Interval Assessment > 30 days, must complete new H&P Same-day pre-procedure assessment 14
Documentation Requirements: Pre-Procedure Physician signature on the Pre-Procedure Sedation Assessment Immediate pre-sedation vital signs & assessment by the RN Notify MD of abnormalities Time Out Verification - in procedure location and with entire team Site of the procedure and the patient are actively and clearly communicated Know your Resources! Be Proactive! Let Charge RN know that moderate sedation procedure is planned Know anesthesia's phone # and/or when to call Code Blue/give reversal agent Monitoring Requirement RN, PA or NP credentialed/competent in MS will continuously monitor the patient & will be available from the time of first drug administration until recovery is judged adequate per MCP. MS credentialed MD and personnel will be available to direct pt care if untoward event occurs. 15
Intra-Procedure Documentation Sedation Procedure Record EPIC Intra-Procedure and Recovery Vital Signs Continuous Cardiac monitoring (post strip) Every 5 minutes: HR RR BP Sp02 LOC every 15 minutes If patient goes into Deep Sedation, documents VS every 3 minutes! Intra-Procedure Verbal order read back Sedative drug name, dose, administering personnel & time given Patient monitoring Communication with MD 16
Sedative Administration Personnel that meet MS requirements, may administer sedative drug under direction of the MS credentialed physician. Consult with anesthesia required for Deep Sedation. Medications should be easily titrated for procedure, and those with specific reversal agents are preferred rapid onset anesthetics are NOT appropriate. Intra-Procedure Monitoring Have reversal agents for opiods and benzodiazepines readily available Anticipate procedural needs Monitor patient safety and comfort Patient Monitoring Post-Procedure Monitor for at LEAST 30 minutes after the last dose of intravenous medication Monitor for at LEAST 90 minutes after the last transmucosal or intramuscular medication If reversal agents used, must monitor for 90 minutes after last reversal agent administration 17
Recovery & Discharge Invasive Procedure Areas Use scoring criterion from discharge scoring assessment Modified Aldrete Score of at least 15 AND 30 min since IV or 90 min since IM or transmucosal medication MS MD will approve discharge once criteria met If total score is < 15 or if there is a score of zero in any category, then pt must be assessed & released by a physician Recovery & Discharge Patients who require transport will be assessed for stability prior to transport Supplemental oxygen will be used if Sp02 < 90% on room air Patients will be accompanied by licensed clinical personnel during transport Discharge Criteria Patient must meet criteria for discharge Record the mode of transportation home Give both verbal and written instructions Discharge Instructions Discharge Instructions for the Parent 18
Recovery Patients sedated in the ICU or ED may be recovered in their respective areas If pt does not meet recovery criteria, must be transported to PACU Potential Complications Airway Obstruction Laryngospasm Bronchospasm Noncardiogenic Pulmonary Edema Aspiration Cardiovascular complications Adverse Event Documentation Note in medical record, and eqvr: Use of reversal agent Unplanned intubation Unplanned admission or transfer to higher level of care Chest pain during procedure Drop in oxygen saturation - <92 for >5 minutes Unintended interuption of procedure due to med use Hypotension and use of pressor Aspiration RRT/Code Blue Death 19
