title: Adverse responses to analgesia, sedation, and neuromuscular blocking agents in infants and children.
abstract: Analgesics, sedation, and neuromuscular blocking agents are commonly used in treating critically ill infants and children. Although these medications are beneficial and imperative to the care of the child, their use is not risk free. Adverse responses occur in these children. With improved methods for use and monitoring, adverse responses can be minimized.
