Sedation monitor for the office-based plastic surgery setting.
Safety is always the primary concern of surgeons and patients in any office-based procedure. With the growing use of safe intravenous sedation in this setting, a need for a standardized protocol for dissociative anesthesia exists. We have accomplished this task by using a sedation monitoring system, which could easily be implemented in any existing office-based operating setting. Our sedation monitor, abbreviated SeMo, provides a standardized means of monitoring deep intravenous sedation administration to patients in the operating room setting. The idea of SeMo is to develop a stand-alone system capable of integrating all facets of the operating room staff through a common communication media to improve efficiency and safety.
