Creating a sedation service for pediatric urodynamics: our experience.
Interpretable urodynamics studies are difficult to obtain in children, many of whom exhibit significant behavioral distress during catheterization. To address the needs of these children, researchers developed a sedation service and reviewed the literature that supported the creation of this service. This article will present the authors'experience in creating a service to meet the needs of these children as well as the initial outcomes of the sedation service.
