The objectives of the Web site, www.sedationfacts.org, are to provide an “easy-to-access online body of knowledge about the science, pharmacology, practice management and regulatory environment of endoscopic sedation” and “improve the understanding of endoscopic sedation among GI medical professionals and trainees, giving them the information they need to improve their knowledge and to ensure patient safety,” according to a press release from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

  • Sedation medications
  • Physiology of sedation
  • Risks and safety
  • Standards and regulations
  • Practice management
  • Resources and updates
