This procedure requires little time but is painful, and repeated treatments are necessary. The level of sedation used for this procedure varies among institutions and from patient to patient, ranging from no sedation at all to general anesthesia. Minimal to moderate sedation with nitrous oxide is an effective method of sedation for this procedure. The sedationist must be prepared to handle complications such as emesis and aspiration. Injection of the submandibular and parotid glands for sialorrhea is a growing indication for Botox injection; deeper levels of sedation are required for sialorrhea than for spasticity to allow localization of the gland and precise delivery of the treatment.","PeriodicalId":188400,"journal":{"name":"The Pediatric Procedural Sedation Handbook","volume":"101 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":"132596889","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}

For the purposes of this chapter, moderate adverse sedation-related events represent physiologic change that is extremely likely to lead to significant patient harm if unnoticed or responded to ineffectively by the sedationist. Apnea, airway obstruction, and laryngospasm are examples. The relative likelihood of events of this type (1 of every 400 sedation episodes) provides significant impetus for effective preparation and training so that sedationists can effectively respond to these adverse events or preempt them. Even though they are categorized as “moderate” and may not be associated with harm in and of themselves, these events may certainly progress to produce significant harm.","PeriodicalId":188400,"journal":{"name":"The Pediatric Procedural Sedation Handbook","volume":"30 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":"132166023","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}

High procedural stress can interfere with the quality or outcome of a procedure and the ease with which it is accomplished. High, unmanaged procedural stress is also associated with more pain, longer recovery times, behavioral disturbances, and increased procedural stress and fear about future medical procedures. Both malleable and nonmalleable factors are predictive of children’s procedural stress, as well as their use of coping behaviors. While nonmalleable factors cannot be changed at the time of the procedure, the presence of such factors can alert healthcare providers to children in need of support. Many well-researched strategies are available to target malleable predictors and thereby mitigate procedural stress, such as adequate preparation for both children and parents, and effective use of coping behaviors. Implementation of such strategies can facilitate optimal procedure completion and foster a positive medical experience for children, thereby giving them greater confidence for future medical encounters.","PeriodicalId":188400,"journal":{"name":"The Pediatric Procedural Sedation Handbook","volume":"7 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":"127300940","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}

Although painless, they necessitate immobility for adequate imaging quality. Many children can complete these diagnostic procedures without sedation, and this should be encouraged. If sedation medications are needed, propofol is commonly used to administer deep sedation for these procedures given its fast induction and recovery times, but particularly careful ventilation monitoring with capnography is important for the sedation provider who is physically separated from the patient in the MRI suite. Dexmedetomidine use is increasing in both MRI and CT sedation; its advantages are maintenance of airway tone and possible neuroprotective effects, but its disadvantages are longer induction and recovery times.
