A proposal for rapid response system education to excessive procedure sedation

American Society of Anesthesiologists published ‘Practice Guidelines for Sedation and Analgesia by Non-Anesthesiologists (ASA-SED)’ in 1993 and it was updated in 2002 and 2018 [1]. The present 2018 ASA-SED guideline indicates recommendations and cautions on effective and safe moderate sedation for procedure (e.g. surgery under local anesthesi a). High quality and safety sedation requires not only appropriate respiratory monitoring but also adequate rapid response system to excessive procedure sedation [2].
