Pediatric procedural sedation can quickly become one of the most challenging moments in emergency care, requiring sound clinical judgment and a strong focus on patient safety. Through interactive case-based learning, you'll explore a practical, stepwise approach to pediatric sedation—from non-pharmacologic comfort measures and safe anxiolytic use to procedural sedation, airway management, and knowing when anesthesia consultation is warranted. Leave with evidence-informed strategies, essential monitoring and reversal principles, and the confidence to safely manage pediatric sedation in the emergency department.
