Description
The pediatric dental patient presents unique challenges in both sedation and emergency management. The goal of sedation is to lessen a child’s anxiety, provide short-term memory loss, and decrease the procedural pain. The sedation medications and techniques may predispose a child to cardiovascular and respiratory compromise along with other possible complications. Thoroughly understanding the sedative medications and potential complications of sedation can aid in identifying and managing emergencies before they become life threatening.
