Claim 16:
17. A system for guiding procedural sedation, comprising:
at least one processor configured to:
identify sedation agent information including at least one of a time, a type, and an amount of sedation agent administered to a patient;
compute, using a pharmacokinetic model, a concentration of sedation agent in the body of the patient based, at least in part, on the sedation agent information;
compute a first predicted sedation level based, at least in part, on the computed concentration;
select a candidate dose of sedation agent based, at least in part, on the sedation agent information;
compute a second predicted sedation level based, at least in part, on the candidate dose of sedation agent;
provide to a display, at least one of the computed concentration and the first predicted sedation level, and at least one of the candidate dose of sedation agent and the second predicted sedation level; and
provide to the display an alert when:
(a) the computed concentration exceeds a first concentration threshold or is below a second concentration threshold; and/or
(b) the first predicted sedation level exceeds a first sedation threshold or is below a second sedation threshold; and

a display configured to display the alert to a user.
