Abstract

BackgroundRecurrent illnesses and poor adherence to medical procedures render infants and young children vulnerable to procedural sedation, while repeated or prolonged exposure to anesthetic medications and sedative drugs may potentially exert adverse effects on the developing brain.ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution of cumulative frequency and the use of general anesthetic drugs in pediatric procedural sedation for children aged 0 to 3 years.MethodsThe records of all children treated in the Sedation Clinic of the Children's Medical Center of our university in November 2021 were extracted as the sample. A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed, and the cumulative frequency of pediatric procedural sedation in 0- to 3-year-old children was investigated as the first endpoint.ResultsA total of 3439 independent children were included in this study, 2649 (77.0%), 471 (13.7%), 270 (7.9%) and 49 (1.4%) children with 1 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 10 and ≥10 rounds of the cumulative frequency of sedation, respectively, and 929 (27%) of those were identified general anesthetics using. There was no significant difference in the gender ratio of each cumulative frequency strata subgroup compared with that of the total sample.Conclusions: The present study concluded that some 0- to 3-year-old children are at risk of large cumulative frequency of pediatric procedural sedation and high risk of general anesthetics exposure.

期刊介绍： Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered: 1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables. 2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words. Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics. 4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors. 5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
