Summary
Sedation is becoming an ever more significant part of our work in the Emergency Department. At the end of May 2016 the Royal College of Emergency Medicine Published the RCEM Sedation Audit of 2015-2016 that covered more than 8,000 ED sedations throughout the UK (involving more than 190 ED's).
There are some pearls to take out of this great piece of work in which there would seem to be some significant scope to improve. The document not only benchmarks our practice but helps give us a feel for the risks involved.
Have a listen and check out the resources mentioned via the hyperlinks below, most importantly make sure you have a look at the document itself.

| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome back to the podcast. We've had a week of a massive amount of coverage of the Smack Conference. |
| 0:20.0 | And for those of you that couldn't make |
| 0:22.3 | it like me, I was absolutely gutted not to be there, but there have been some fantastic |
| 0:27.4 | podcasts that have come out covering it. I have to mention the ACP Educate podcast, which started |
| 0:33.8 | this week. It's definitely worth checking that out. There have been some great conversations |
| 0:39.1 | that have gone on about what's been going on at Smack with some quite lengthy podcasts, |
| 0:43.7 | but some great discussions and some great coverage. So that's ACP Educate. Go and have a look |
| 0:49.2 | on iTunes and I'll put the hyperlink on the website for everyone to go and check out. |
| 1:00.0 | Also being some great coverage from too many to mention, but from Foamcast, from St Emlens and from Femncast as well. |
| 1:02.0 | I missed it, partly because I was off teaching on the team course, which is a fantastic joint |
| 1:08.0 | Airways course run by the Royal College of Enethetists and endorsed by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. |
| 1:13.6 | And basically there to ensure that we're providing excellent advanced airway management in an emergency situation. |
| 1:20.6 | So outside of the operating room, be that in the ED or around and about in the hospital. |

| 1:33.9 | anyone who's interested in advanced airway management strongly considers having a look at |
| 1:38.8 | that course and going along to it. A big, big thanks to Gavin Perkins for inviting me along |
| 1:43.8 | to that course. He ran a fantastic couple of Perkins for inviting me along to that course. |
| 1:45.0 | He ran a fantastic couple of days and really grateful to be involved. And again, I'll pop the hyperlink |
| 1:50.7 | to that on the webpage. There are going to be some big changes coming up for FDMcast, and it is |
| 1:58.4 | an exciting time for the podcast. I'm going to be migrating |
