Pediatric Sedation
Pediatric sedation involves giving medications to children to help them relax and remain calm during medical procedures or treatments. Unlike general anesthesia, which puts a child completely to sleep, sedation allows them to stay awake but comfortable, reducing anxiety and pain. This is often used for minor procedures like dental work or imaging tests. The process is safe, closely monitored by healthcare professionals, and tailored to each child's needs, ensuring they are comfortable while maintaining their safety throughout the procedure.
