In this session we will examine common reasons for sedation of pediatric patients and examine both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods of avoiding sedation given the significant resources that sedation uses as well as the associated risks.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop nonpharmacologic methods of assisting children in procedural tolerance
  • Optimize usage of pharmacologic management without sedation for pediatric procedures
