Why the study?
Do single agent sedation regimens reduce adverse cardiovascular and respiratory events compared to multidrug regimens in pediatric patients undergoing imaging?
Do single agent sedation regimens reduce adverse cardiovascular and respiratory events compared to multidrug regimens in pediatric patients undergoing imaging?
Single-agent sedation and awareness of pulmonary disease history are recommended to minimize adverse respiratory and cardiovascular events in pediatric imaging.
Supports considering single-agent sedation for pediatric imaging patients with pulmonary history; leaves open prospective validation of event reduction.
Consideration should be given to using single agents, avoiding the use of multidrug sedation regimens, and recognizing that a history of pulmonary disease could be associated with an increased risk of adverse respiratory events despite a currently stable respiratory state.
