    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2008 Oct; 18(4):695-705, viii. PubMed ID: 18922408.
    Abstract:
    Properly trained nursing personnel and allied staff are essential to the safe and effective practice of endoscopic sedation. Such individuals should possess a thorough understanding of the pharmacology of sedation agents, as well as the ability to monitor patients under sedation, recognize potential complications, and initiate appropriate and timely interventions. The endoscopy nurse or assistant must also understand their institutional policies and procedures pertaining to procedural sedation.
