title: CSANZ Position Statement on Sedation for Cardiovascular Procedures (2014).
abstract: The Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) Position Statement describes evidence-based standards of training, pre-procedural assessment, procedural conduct and post-procedure care with respect to sedation for cardiovascular procedures. It also describes the environment in which sedation for electrophysiological and other cardiac procedures may be performed. This Statement was developed by a Working Group of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand. It was reviewed by the Continuing Education and Recertification Committee and ratified at the CSANZ Board meeting held on Friday 7 March 2014.
