Key Point 1: Preparation for Sedation
Before performing sedation, it is crucial to review the patient's medical chart for any previous sedation or anesthesia encounters. A thorough history is taken, including information on allergies, medications, recent illnesses, and fasting. A physical examination, with a focus on the airway, is conducted.
