摘要

South America is comprised of 13 countries. It has an area of 6,890,000 mile2(17,840,000 km2) and in 2022 its population was estimated to be 660,269,074. The languages of South America are mainly Castilian Spanish and Portuguese. A variety of social, political, and economic factors make this region very heterogeneous. In the medical field, specifically in the area of sedation, the heterogeneity continues. The diverse development of the varied regions makes it possible to find profound backwardness adjacent to technological developments that are at the forefront of medicine. This incongruity is especially apparent in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru. This chapter will explore the sedation practices within the various regions of South America.
