Pediatric sedation is a medical practice that involves administering sedative medications to children in order to calm them, reduce anxiety, and make them more comfortable during various medical procedures. These procedures can range from simple tasks such as dental cleanings to more complex procedures like MRI scans or surgeries. Pediatric sedation is typically performed by trained healthcare professionals such as pediatricians, anesthesiologists, or pediatric sedation specialists. The goal of pediatric sedation is to ensure the safety and comfort of children during medical procedures while minimizing the risk of complications and adverse reactions to sedative medications.
