We report on the development of a simulation-based sedation training course (SEDTC). Participants were doctors and medical staff, such as operating room nurses. During the course, we identified issues that medical staff confront in the operating room (OR). ⋯ At the end of the course, participants discussed problems associated with sedation and provided input regarding sedation safety. Participants commented not only on changes in their views regarding sedation, but also on general medical safety in the OR. Our findings suggest that the SEDTC may serve as a vehicle to promote safety with respect to sedation and analgesia.
