The purpose of this guideline is to ensure that patients undergoing procedures have a multimodal plan that has considered and may include pharmacological and non-pharmacological
interventions. A procedure should be considered a biopsychosocial experience for the patient rather than a simple task for the clinician. This document provides guidelines for patient care before, during and after procedures.
