ERRATUM

The Editor regrets that an error occurred in the CPD Section in the November 2015 issue. Question Five required ONE answer but there were in fact TWO correct answers.

The CPD Accreditors have been advised on the problem and will accept either or both answers.

Details:

5. Identify the incorrect statement.

Procedural sedation is:

a. An alternative to GA

b. Involves advanced techniques in administering combinations of drugs

c. Drug induced depression of consciousness Patient still responds to verbal commands

d. May be administered by nurses

e. Requires active intervention to maintain the airway

Procedural sedation may NOT be administered by a nurse, nor is intervention required to maintain the airway.

Apologies to all OPD enthusiasts!
