Aims
To highlight the standards surrounding more complex sedation for implant care - To highlight the need for dedicated sedationists in complex cases - To present modern safer techniques to treat more patients and give a more pleasurable experience for patients.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand the concept of increasing the complexity of procedures with complex sedation -Understand the IACSD standards and how they relate to the safe use of sedatives - Appreciate the benefits of Remimazolam in the safe sedation of patients.
