All patients who undergo procedural sedation require a brief pre-sedation evaluation, including an airway assessment, before sedation begins.
To support this workflow, we created a new Pre-SedationAssessment Note to complement the existing ED Procedure Note for procedural sedation.
I. Complete the Pre-SedationAssessment Note Before SedationBegins
- Open the patient’s chart and click on the My Note tab.
- Select the Pre-Sedation Assessment Note.
- Complete the Pre-Sedation Assessment Note template that appears on the right side. This includes information that should be obtained prior to the sedation procedure, including informed consent, an airway assessment, and a focused history and exam including ASA Score and Mallanpati Score.
- Sign the note before sedation begins.
II. Complete the Procedure Note After the Sedation Procedure
- Open the patient’s chart and click on the My Note tab.
- Select the Procedure Note.
- Select the Procedural Sedation template.
- Complete the Procedural Sedation template that appears on the left side. This includes information about what happened during sedation, including findings and complications.
- Sign the note once you are done. Remember to complete a separate Procedure Note for the procedure itself (central line, joint reduction, etc).
Reminder for Interventional Radiology Consults:
IR at Cornell requires a consult order to guarantee response. If emergent it needs to state life and limb threatening.
