The Prince Sultan Cardiac Center Qassim successfully conducted
the two-day Conscious Sedation Course on October 29-30, 2019. This
conscious sedation course was intended for physicians, nurses, and medical
technicians.
The first day was comprised of a series of lectures
elaborating the steps from choosing and preparing the patient, until the
process of how to perform and conduct conscious sedation. Moreover, the
speakers also presented a review of the latest findings in this particular
area of equipment as well as the medicines used including the detailed
explanation of its expected complications and more importantly the
preventive measures to take if such cases may possibly occur.
Meanwhile, on the second day of the course, a series of
workshops were undertaken to train the participants on how to distinguish and
address the complications that may arise. At the same time, illustrative
films were also shown to fully enhance the knowledge of the participants.
The Head of Cardiac Anesthesia Department of PSCCQ, Dr.
Mutasim Ahmed Hammad was overwhelmed with the outcome of the course. This
program accredited for 11 hours of medical education is truly a great help
and advantage for those in the medical field.
