Pediatric Patient Definition and sedations
A patient aged twelve (12) or under. The use of preoperative sedatives for children (aged twelve (12) and under) except in extraordinary situations must be avoided due to the risk of unobserved respiratory obstruction during transport by untrained individuals.
Children (aged twelve (12) and under) can become moderately sedated despite the intended level of minimal sedation; should this occur, the guidelines for moderate sedation apply.
Minimal Sedation (Anxiolysis)
Minimal sedation (Anxiolysis)—A minimally depressed level of consciousness produced by a pharmacological method, which retains the patient’s ability to independently and continuously maintain an airway and respond normally to tactile stimulation and verbal command. Although cognitive function and coordination may be modestly impaired, ventilatory and cardiovascular functions are unaffected. Note: In accord with this particular definition, the drug(s) and/or techniques used should carry a margin of safety
wide enough never to render unintended loss of consciousness. Further, patients whose only response is reflex withdrawal from repeated painful stimuli would not be considered to be in a state of minimal sedation. When the intent is minimal sedation for adults, the appropriate initial dosing of a single enteral drug is no more than the maximum recommended dose (MRD) of a drug that can be prescribed for unmonitored home use
minimal sedations for kids
The use of preoperative sedatives for children (aged twelve (12) and under) except in extraordinary
situations must be avoided due to the risk of unobserved respiratory obstruction during transport by
untrained individuals. Children (aged twelve (12) and under) can become moderately sedated despite the
intended level of minimal sedation; should this occur, the guidelines for moderate sedation apply.
NO with anxiolytics
Nitrous oxide/oxygen may be used in combination with a single enteral drug in minimal sedation.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen when used in combination with sedative agent(s) may produce minimal, moderate, or deep sedation or general anesthesia.
Moderate Sedation (Conscious Sedation)
A drug induced depression of?
Generally, no interventions are required to?
Cardiovascular function?
Moderate Sedation (Conscious Sedation)
A drug induced depression of consciousness during which
patients respond purposefully to verbal commands, either alone
or accompanied by light tactile stimulation.
Generally, no interventions are required to maintain a patent
airway, and spontaneous ventilation is adequate.
Cardiovascular function is usually maintained
Deep Sedation
A drug-induced depression of ? during which?
The ability to independently maintain ventilatory function?
Patients may require assistance in?
Cardiovascular function?
Deep Sedation
A drug-induced depression of consciousness during which
patients cannot be easily aroused but respond purposefully
following repeated or painful stimulation.
The ability to independently maintain ventilatory function may be
impaired.
Patients may require assistance in maintaining a patent airway
and spontaneous ventilation may be inadequate.
Cardiovascular function is usually maintained.
