However, these two safe modalities are important for patients during higher levels of PSA because of the risk of rare life-threatening conditions and to help identify possible medication side effects and drug interactions of common sedative medications. These monitoring modalities can also aid in determining the adequacy of sedation. It is generally accepted that a baseline determination of heart rate and BP should be obtained prior to any sedative administration. With deeper levels of sedation and throughout recovery, continuous 3-lead ECG and intermittent BP monitoring are recommended, in addition to other modalities such as pulse oximetry and capnography, to monitor the safety of the patient.","PeriodicalId":188400,"journal":{"name":"The Pediatric Procedural Sedation Handbook","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127112653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Management of sedation, analgesia, and anxiety in pediatric procedural sedation is an intrinsically multidisciplinary process that involves nursing, physicians, child life specialists, and other healthcare providers. In general, pediatric procedural sedation is a relatively new specialty with limited data on the role of the pediatric nurse in this multiprofessional team. It is an opportunity for nursing to collaborate with other healthcare professionals to establish guidelines and protocols to facilitate optimal patient care and efficiency as well as to share and expand their knowledge base and clinical skill set.

Thus, sedated children are at risk of respiratory depression, laryngospasm, airway obstruction, apnea, and loss of airway reflexes. Hypotension and cardiopulmonary arrest may also occur, although these complications usually result from failure to recognize and correct respiratory compromise. Despite careful presedation assessment, appropriate medication and dose selection, and appropriate cardiovascular monitoring during the procedure, the risks associated with sedation cannot be eliminated entirely. As it is common for children to pass from the intended level of sedation to deeper levels of sedation, providers should be capable of providing appropriate rescue interventions from one level of sedation deeper than what is intended.
