The Safety, Quality and Standards Committee (SQSC) would like to invite members to review and provide feedback on the recently developed Anaesthetic Sedation Guidelines.
These guidelines have been developed to provide guidance for clinical radiologists (CRs), interventional radiologists (IRs), and interventional neuroradiologists (INRs) in providing safe sedation to their patients in Australia and New Zealand.
The use of sedation in clinical practice is necessary to improve patient experience and comfort, and to alleviate anxiety. Failure to plan for and manage these issues adequately may risk adverse patient outcomes and also reduce procedural success. It is important that CRs, IRs, and INRs can plan and administer safe and effective intravenous conscious sedation, as well as intravenous analgesia, to improve patient outcomes.
We would appreciate your feedback before the consultation closes on Friday 11 July 2025.
