5.0 out of 5 stars THE DEFINITIVE SOURCE for practicing Conscious Sedation., June 17, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews

Wow! No stones unturned here!! A comprehensive, authoritative resource ESSENTIAL to any medical personnel engaged in this practice. Have the words "Scope of Practice" crossed your mind? This book provides the most complete answers to a myraid of factors which influence conscious sedation. Thank you, Dr. Kost, for compiling the exhaustive, multi-facted reference manual that is so desperately needed to delineate the "grey" areas of practice and, most importantly, contribute to SAFE, positive patient outcomes. Conscious sedation is a continually evolving field that demands the practitioners stay on the frontier of education, technology, accountability, and expert practice. This book places the foundation on the table. You owe it to yourself, and to your patients, to master this manual.

It is a very well written and researched handbook with the latest facts regarding the art of conscious sedation. Although the field is constantly changing it is as current as possible.
