However, general anesthesia not only requires the participation of professional anesthesiologists for surgery but also has a high cost and anesthesia risks. Parents have a low acceptance rate. At present, chloral hydrate combined with local anesthesia for sedation has been widely used in various pediatric examination and treatment projects.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To retrospectively analyze the impact of sleep deprivation on pediatric dermatological surgery performed under local anesthesia following chloral hydrate enema.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>A retrospective review was conducted on 280 pediatric patients who underwent dermatological surgery or tissue pathology biopsy from September 2022 to March 2023.
