Description:
Invasive and non-invasive procedures are a common and necessary component in the management of infants and children with acute and chronic diseases. As technology continues to expand, there are an increasing number of techniques which require procedural sedation away from the comforts and safety of the operating room. This new resource is a comprehensive guide for the initial design and implementation of a procedural sedation program, and also a tool to educate pediatric health professionals regarding medications used for sedation, their adverse effect profile, and the treatment of these adverse effects.
