Pediatric procedural sedation is essential for the safe and effective accomplishment of diagnostic imaging and relatively brief painful procedures in children. Sedation is administered by a variety of pediatric specialists, including Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, Hospital Medicine, Anesthesia, and Dentistry. A host of medication regimens have been used over the years to sedate children. As the number of children sedated has increased over time, research into pediatric procedural sedation has evaluated questions of risk and has and has laid the foundation for determining best practices in the field.
A multi-specialty panel of internationally recognized sedation researchers will present their insights and personal experiences of performance of sedation research and its translation into patient care. The panel will open with a description of the development of large multicenter research collaboratives. The use of these prospective databases to answer research questions will be described, as will the development and use of quality metrics. Questions about how to obtain research funding will be addressed. The panel will conclude with a presentation on how to take research and translate the findings into patient care guidelines.
