Moderate Sedation
Date: May 5, 2023
Question:
We are pretty clear on moderate sedation documentation requirements, but we are a teaching hospital and our attendings are not in the room the entire time. Can a time the resident is there face to face with patient be counted since the resident/fellow is the one performing the procedure under supervision of attending?
