Abstract
A sedation training course (SEDTC) based on ‘Practice Guidelines for Sedation and Analgesia by Non-Anesthesiologists’ was developed to improve safety in sedation, in particular through the education of non-anesthesiologists. This course focuses primarily on sedation depth control, monitored anesthesia care, and post-sedation management. For challenges such as awake intubation or postoperative management, SEDTC may also help to educate anesthesiologists. Furthermore, as anesthesiologists should be taking the lead in promoting the medical safety of sedation in various situations, SEDTC can effectively teach anesthesiologists how to inform non-anesthesiologists about the essential components of sedation.
