02: Procedural Sedation Regimens Outside the Operating Room
Manage episode 298263500 series 2949888
In this episode, we will be welcoming Dr. Megan Peters and Dr. Abdallah Dalabih to have a chat with us about how to develop a sedation regimen for patients undergoing procedural sedation outside the operating room. Dr. Peters is the Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. She is a pediatric intensivist and the Director of Pediatric Sedation Program at American Family Children’s Hospital. Dr. Dalabih is the Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and is also a pediatric intensivist.
He is the Director of Pediatric Sedation Programs at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. One of the hypothetical cases is where the patient is a three year old boy who needs an MRI with contrast for a prolonged focal seizure which occurred four days ago. He is previously healthy, has no significant past medical history and has not been exposed to anesthesia or procedural sedation in the past. He has no known drug allergies and on examination, his physical exam is unremarkable with normative vital signs for his age. He is also appropriately NPO. Stay tuned to learn more from Dr. Peters and Dr. Dalabih!
