| PSCCQ's Department of Education, Training and Research holds the 2nd Conscious Sedation Course last October 19-20, 2016 at PSCCQ Conference Room.

Dr. Mutasim Ahmad Hammad was the very first speaker who lectured about the General View of Moderate Sedation.

The first lecture, Dr. Musaab Ahmed Mohammed Tom, relatively discussed about Pre-sedation Evaluation which also covers sub-topics such as Patient Selection, History and Physical Examination, Airway Assessment, ASA Physical Status Classifications as well as the Contraindications. This was definitely a lecture of great worth knowing that it was deliberately shared by the speaker himself.
On the other hand, Dr. Amin Hassan Mohammad Shani tackled the Pre-Procedural Preparation comprised of Fasting Time, Patients at Risk for Pulmonary Aspiration, Pre-medication, Equipment and Medication Checklist. He elaborated the necessary procedures needed for pre-procedural preparation.

Likewise, Dr. Mohamed Ali Shoman taught the participants on the important things to do and to remember when monitoring NIBP, ECG, and Temperature Sedation Level. Right after the last lecturer, the participants then had their prayer and lunch break in order to retain their energy level and alertness as the activity heads on in the afternoon. Thus, when all were assembled again, Dr. Musaab Ahmed Muhamed Tom, gave his lecture and profound discussion regarding Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Conscious Sedation Medications. It was followed by Dr. Mutasim Ahmad Hammad talked about Documentation.
