Sedation for children outside the operating room has been the subject of numerous discussions in the last 20 years, especially for pediatric anesthesiologists. Among the reasons why this was and continues to be an important topic (Fig. 15.1) for us are: An increase in the number and type of procedures outside and inside the operating room (OR), versus a decreased or equal number of anesthesiologists available, all scheduled as day surgery An increase in the demand for special conditions to produce better images/results (e.g. MRI, dentistry) An Increase in the complexity of cases due to an increase in survival rates of children with complex pathology. |
