| equipment should be available when administering conscious sedation | a suction unit emergency supplies for cpr a self inflating positive pressure oxygen delivery system |
| early warnings of adult respiratory compromise are | restlessness, agitation confusion tachycardia |
| the goals of airway management are to anticipate and recognize respiratory and to support and replace those functions that are compromised | true |
| these items need to be present b4 the administration of conscious sedation | relevant medical history pertinent physical examination including a heart, lung and airway exam appropriate consents |
| protocol for notifying additional support services should be clearly identified in all areas providing conscious sedation | true |
| these drugs are considered anesthesia rather than conscious sedation | fentanyl/sublimaze diprivan/propofol |

| versed | midazolam |
| valium | diazepam |
| adverse reactions | drowsiness mild hypotension ataxia rash lethargy nightmares dry mouth constipation |
