  • Title: Paediatric procedural sedation within the emergency department.
    Author: Krieser D, Kochar A.
    Journal: J Paediatr Child Health; 2016 Feb; 52(2):197-203. PubMed ID: 27062624.
    Abstract:
    Procedural sedation and analgesia in children requires the use of non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches to facilitate the management of painful procedures. The development of skills in such techniques has mirrored the development of paediatric emergency medicine as a subspecialty. Governance, education and credentialing must facilitate safe sedation practice, using a structured approach, as sedating children in the busy environment of an emergency department is not without risk. Emergency clinicians, patients and caregivers all have a role to play in developing a safe, effective sedation plan.
