Procedural Sedation Record
Patient Identification:
Sarah Jane Smith, Hospital Folder Number: 1234567, Date of Birth: 15/03/1988, Gender: Female
Procedure Details:
Gastroscopy performed in the Endoscopy Suite. Estimated duration was 45 minutes. Responsible proceduralist was Dr. Emily White, Gastroenterologist.
Sedation Indication:
Patient undergoing diagnostic gastroscopy for persistent dyspepsia and reflux symptoms. Sedation indicated for patient comfort, anxiety relief, and to ensure procedural cooperation. No absolute contraindications identified.
Pre-Sedation Assessment:
Fasting status confirmed: NPO for 8 hours prior to procedure. Baseline vital signs: HR 72 bpm, BP 128/78 mmHg, SpO₂ 98% on room air, RR 16 breaths/min. Airway assessment: Mallampati Class II, no loose teeth, no signs of obesity impacting airway. Known comorbidities: Well-controlled asthma. Relevant examination findings: Clear lung sounds bilaterally, patent airway.
Sedation Plan:
Conscious sedation strategy planned using Midazolam and Fentanyl. Selected agents: Midazolam 0.05 mg/kg IV titrated to effect, Fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg IV titrated to effect for analgesia. Administration routes: Intravenous (IV) via peripheral cannula. Titration method: Incremental dosing until desired sedation depth achieved (Ramsay Sedation Score 2-3).
Monitoring:
Parameters monitored: Heart Rate (HR), Blood Pressure (BP), Oxygen Saturation (SpO₂), Respiratory Rate (RR), and Level of Consciousness (LOC). Equipment used: Electronic vital signs monitor with continuous SpO₂ and ECG. Frequency of observations: Every 5 minutes during sedation, then every 15 minutes during recovery.
Administration Log:
10:00 - Midazolam 2mg IV, Administered by Dr. Thomas Kelly
10:05 - Fentanyl 50mcg IV, Administered by Nurse Jane Doe
10:15 - Midazolam 1mg IV, Administered by Dr. Thomas Kelly
Sedation Depth and Responsiveness:
Sedation depth maintained at Ramsay Sedation Score 3 (responsive to verbal commands). Patient remained verbally responsive throughout the procedure, occasionally drowsy but easily aroused.
Intra-Procedure Course:
Procedure lasted 30 minutes. Patient tolerated the procedure well with no significant distress. Haemodynamic status remained stable (BP 120-135/70-85 mmHg, HR 68-75 bpm). Respiratory rate maintained between 14-18 breaths/min, SpO₂ maintained at 97-99% on 2L O₂ via nasal cannula. No airway support required. No sedation-related or procedural complications observed.
Fluids and Adjuncts:
IV fluids administered: 250ml of 0.9% Normal Saline. No local anaesthetics, antiemetics, or other supportive medications administered.
Complications and Adverse Events:
No sedation-related adverse events (e.g., desaturation, hypotension, agitation, vomiting, laryngospasm) occurred. No interventions were required.
Recovery Assessment:
Recovery vital signs: HR 70 bpm, BP 125/75 mmHg, SpO₂ 99% on room air, RR 16 breaths/min. Level of consciousness: Alert and oriented x3. Ability to maintain airway: Fully patent and self-maintained. Readiness for discharge from recovery area confirmed based on Aldrete score of 9.
Post-Sedation Instructions:
Patient instructed to have an adult escort home. Activity restrictions: No driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for 24 hours. Dietary advice: Start with light, clear fluids, then progress to soft foods as tolerated. Medication guidance: Resume usual medications unless otherwise advised. Red flags to watch for: Persistent nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing – instructed to seek immediate medical attention if any occur. Follow-up arrangements: Scheduled for outpatient gastroenterology clinic in 2 weeks.

Use only the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note as a reference for the information included in your note. If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note, you must not state that the information has not been explicitly mentioned in your output.
