Key result
The interventional radiologist's responsibilities include the safe and effective management of sedation and knowing when to seek assistance to minimize anesthesia-related risk.
Why the study?
Sedation administration requires compliance with ASA standards across nonoperating room settings, extending the interventionalist's responsibilities to safe sedation management and knowing when to seek assistance.
Highlights the responsibilities of interventional radiologists in managing sedation and analgesia safely in compliance with ASA standards.

Supports ASA-compliant sedation oversight in interventional radiology; leaves open the need for outcome studies and training standards.
The administration of sedative agents requires compliance with standards set by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), irrespective of the setting in which anesthetics are administered.[ 1 ] The interventional suite is one of many settings for nonoperating room anesthesia. By performing procedures on patients across varying levels of sedation, the interventionalist becomes part of a broader anesthesia care team tasked with minimizing anesthesia-related risk and optimizing patient outcomes. As such, the interventionalist's responsibilities extend beyond performing a technically safe and effective procedure to include the safe and effective management of sedation—and knowing when to seek assistance.

Schwartz et al. (2023) conducted a review in Sedation and analgesia in interventional radiology. Sedation and analgesia management was evaluated. The interventional radiologist's responsibilities include the safe and effective management of sedation and knowing when to seek assistance to minimize anesthesia-related risk.
