"Rationale/background to this guideline: The emergency sedation of the acutely agitated patient is a high risk procedure for both the patient as well as the treating providers. Recurrent cases of sedation related misadventures and deaths have motivated the authors of this document to produce this evidence and practice based consensus guideline. We have coined the title “Surviving Sedation Guidelines” as a paraphrase to the well known “Surviving Sepsis” campaign to draw attention to key principles of safe sedation that we believe to be the pillars of quality care and patient safety."
