  • Title: Regimens for pediatric sedation.
    Author: Giovannitti JA.
    Journal: Compendium; 1993 Aug; 14(8):1002, 1004-6 passim; quiz 1014. PubMed ID: 8269436.
    Abstract:
    Pediatric sedation is one of the most challenging areas of clinical practice. The goal of pediatric management is to accomplish treatment on a comfortable and cooperative child. While comfort may be achieved with or without drugs, cooperation may occasionally be achieved only when levels of sedation deepen to the point of obtunding the child. Anatomic and physiologic differences in the pediatric patient give high priority to airway management, oxygenation, and ventilation. Techniques for pediatric sedation and anesthesia are reviewed and recommendations are made for the rational selection of an appropriate pharmacological management technique.
