Advancing Pediatric Sedation for Safe and Effective Emergency Care
Promoting excellence in pediatric sedation through education, guidelines, and research
Pediatric sedation is a crucial aspect of emergency medicine. Its primary aim is to induce
relaxation, alleviate anxiety, and manage pain during various medical procedures. Its
historical roots date back to ancient civilizations, like the use of opium by Greek physicians
for pain relief. In modern medicine, sedation techniques have evolved, offering a range of
options with distinct pros and cons. Pediatric emergency professionals recognize its vital role
and are committed to delivering top-quality care to young patients.
