Population

834 hospitals with CT scanners in the United States, of which 450 conduct pediatric CT with sedation.

Design

Cross-sectional

Authors

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Variation in pediatric CT sedation signals need for consensus protocols; leaves optimal standardization and safety impact open to prospective study.

Structured PICO

Population

834 hospitals with CT scanners in the United States (from a random sample of 2,000), of which 450 conduct pediatric CT with sedation.

Intervention

Survey of sedation practices in pediatric computed tomographic (CT) examinations.

Outcome

Current sedation practices, including consent requirements, monitoring techniques, personnel present, oral intake protocols, and drug choices.

A national survey reveals significant variation and lack of standardization in pediatric CT sedation practices across US hospitals, often diverging from established guidelines.
