Article/Chapter Title: | Pediatric off site anesthesia |
Abstract: | There is an increase in need for sedation for pediatric patients undergoing procedures and scans outside of the operating room. Overall, sedation is safe if the anesthesia provider is trained in rescuing the patient. Common complications include apnea and airway obstruction. Full monitoring should be provided, including capnometry. It is also crucial to have all emergency supplies and medications on hand. In many cases, propofol sedation is a safe anesthetic in patients who are sedation candidates. Other possible anesthetics include sedation with drugs like ketamine and versed or general anesthesia with an LMA or endotracheal tube. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2017.
