title: [Hospital Doctors Should Receive Lecture for Sedation According to Joint Commission International].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  At our hospital, intending to obtaining an approval from the Joint Commission International (JCI), we conducted a workshop on sedation for all staff physicians.
  
  
  METHODS
  A sedation instructor authorized by the Japanese Association for Medical Simulation gave a lecture using the "practice guidelines for sedation and administration of analgesics for non-anesthesiologists", revised in 2002 by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, following which, a test using 10 true-false questions was conducted, while before and after the lecture a questionnaire survey on the sedation lecture was carried out
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among 191 physicians attending the lecture, except for one person, 7 or more questions were answered correctly. From the questionnaires, the sedation lectures were also generally accepted favourably. In the test of understanding, the mistakes were mostly in the sections on "sedation evaluation" "intraoperative monitoring" "pharmaceutical knowledge" and "airway management methods".
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The sedation lecture in the hospital was effective.
