Given the recent attempts by the Academy of Medicine to promote safer sedation, I had hoped that Sedation and Analgesia for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures would contain helpful advice and guidance. I was greatly disappointed. With 18 of the 19 contributors coming from the USA, the book is clearly written for an American audience. All of the specific guidelines, rules and regulations are American, with no discussion of policies and practices in any other countries. While the basic principles may be similar, confusion is likely, as what is ‘mandatory’ in one place may only be ‘recommended’ elsewhere and vice versa. Predictably, American spellings are used, but alternative drug names used in Europe are not even acknowledged, which could be confusing and possibly dangerous.
