Why the study?

Are sedation protocols using chloral hydrate and intravenous pentobarbital safe and effective in pediatric patients undergoing CT and MRI?

Population

1,158 children between the ages of 1 day and 18 years undergoing CT and MRI

Design

Cohort

Authors

AHAnne M. HubbardAmerican Society for Radiation Oncology RMRichard I. MarkowitzChildren's Hospital of Philadelphia BKBarbara KimmelBaylor College of Medicine

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Supports feasibility of these regimens for pediatric imaging; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized trials before practice change.

Structured PICO

Are sedation protocols using chloral hydrate and intravenous pentobarbital safe and effective in pediatric patients undergoing CT and MRI?

Population

1,158 children between the ages of 1 day and 18 years undergoing CT and MRI

Intervention

Sedation protocols including chloral hydrate (60-120 mg/kg by mouth) for infants less than 18 months and intravenous pentobarbital (2-6 mg/kg) for older children

Outcome

Safety and efficacy (sedation success)safety

Sedation protocols using chloral hydrate for infants and intravenous pentobarbital for older children are highly effective (97% success) for pediatric cross-sectional imaging.
