title: Sedation and anaesthesia outside the OR.
abstract: The sedation of paediatric patients is associated with serious risks such as hypoventilation, apnoea, airway obstruction, and cardiopulmonary impairment; these risks should be avoided or accurately and rapidly diagnosed and appropriately treated. Appropriate management may include ventilation by mask and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which require special training and skills.
