Abstract

Sedation of children is often an unavoidable component of many diagnostic and therapeutic healthcare interventions in children. Traditional agents such as chloral hydrate and midazolam continue to be widely used in a safe and effective manner. However, experience with other agents has grown in recent years. This produced more options and shifted attitudes on how sedation may be defined, conceptualized and delivered. This article discusses these changes, as well as covering some of the non-pharmacological factors and issues involved.
