Sedation vs. Anesthesia — Navigating the Gray Zone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sedation and anesthesia aren't two separate things — they're points on a spectrum. And the tricky part? You don't always know where your patient is going to land. In this episode, Tracey, Travis and Maryann dig into the gray zone where sedation ends and general anesthesia begins. We share real cases that didn't go according to plan.
