Availability and quality of procedural sedation and analgesia in emergency departments without emergency physicians: A national survey in the Netherlands.
Abstract
Emergency physicians have been successful in implementing procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) to treat emergency department (ED) patients who need to undergo painful procedures. However, 25% of the EDs in the Netherlands are not staffed by emergency physicians. The aim of this study was to investigate PSA availability and quality in EDs without emergency physicians.
