Sedation in pediatrics

Sedation in pediatrics involves carefully administering medications to help children relax, remain comfortable, and less anxious during medical procedures or treatments. It ensures they stay calm and cooperative, reducing distress and movement that could affect the procedure’s success. The level of sedation varies from mild to deep, depending on the child's needs and procedure type. Pediatric sedation is performed by trained healthcare professionals, who monitor the child's vital signs closely to ensure safety. The goal is to provide a positive experience while minimizing discomfort and risks associated with medical care.
