Book excerpt: Procedural sedation is commonly used in the emergency department for patients undergoing painful procedures such as fracture reduction or electrical cardioversion. The fourth volume in the Essential Emergency Medicine series, Essential Emergency Procedural Sedation and Pain Management provides a unique interprofessional perspective on delivering procedural sedation and analgesia. The book is designed for staff physicians, residents, nurses, professionals, and allied health care workers. Although procedural sedation is commonly employed and recognized as a required skill set for emergency physicians, there is a lack of appropriate education in the area, and this book bridges gaps in training, especially in the interprofessional team setting.
