Consider filling out this Worksheet as you read and learn! Kate Wynne has the completed answer sheet, feel free to email her for a copy. A great time to do this is on PICU prep.

The ER curriculum also has some great reading here

The Procedure Videos resource has a couple videos you can watch including this one about procedural sedation and this one about managing procedural anxiety

As you might imagine, UpToDate has a nice overview article and one on medication selection
