Abstract
As in radiology, endoscopy and multiple other specialized areas of modern hospitals, patients are sedated in the ED on a daily basis. The situations are entirely analogous except for the fact that emergency departments are equipped to resuscitate patients and the physicians staffing these departments possess moderate to advanced airway management skills. It is incumbent upon anaesthetists and emergency physicians to cooperate in ensuring an adequate standard of care is delivered to patients undergoing sedation and analgesia in the ED, and other areas of the hospital. As a “horizontal” specialty, emergency medicine relies on the expertise of many “vertical” specialties on a daily basis. Anaesthesia has the capacity to contribute educational, experiential and practical resources to the administration of sedation and analgesia in the ED.
