title: Sedation and analgesia for procedures outside the operating room in children.
abstract: There has been a dramatic increase in the number of procedures that are conducted in children in which sedation is now considered beneficial. In many institutions, however, resources and personnel have not been recruited to address this increase in demand. In most institutions, anaesthesiology departments are not able to provide anaesthesia for all procedures that are performed outside the operating theatre, and alternative solutions are needed. Recent research includes attempts to decrease the time required to induce sedation and to recover from it, and development of new organizational models to improve the safety of procedural sedation.
