Approach to neuroimaging in children 2007 UpToDate Sedation — Sedation is rarely required for CT examinations in children because most CT examinations take only seconds or minutes to perform, particularly when ultrafast helical/spiral or multidetector/multislice technology is used. Sedation — Sedation is rarely required for CT examinations in children because most CT examinations take only seconds or minutes to perform, particularly when ultrafast helical/spiral or multidetector/multislice technology is used. High-resolution studies that require immobilization to avoid motion artifact (eg, temporal bone examination) are the exception. A newborn or young infant often can be examined during sleep (eg, after a feeding or at the usual nap-time).

Use of Intravenous Methohexital as a Sedative in Pediatric Emergency Departments Hanan Sedik, MD Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2001;155: Methohexital has been used in adult emergency departments and has been found to produce rapid and brief sedation, especially for orthopedic procedures. Methohexital has been used in adult emergency departments and has been found to produce rapid and brief sedation, especially for orthopedic procedures. Lerman et al studied 76 adult patients in a prospective observational study where IV methohexital had been used for a variety of procedures, and concluded that it caused clinically insignificant changes in hemodynamics and oxygenation. Although respiratory depression did occur, if significant it was brief and easily managed. Lerman et al studied 76 adult patients in a prospective observational study where IV methohexital had been used for a variety of procedures, and concluded that it caused clinically insignificant changes in hemodynamics and oxygenation. Although respiratory depression did occur, if significant it was brief and easily managed. Zink et al reported a consecutive case series of 102 patients (including 10 patients younger than 10 years) who received IV methohexital for various procedures. The authors concluded that methohexital is safe and effective in selected emergency department patients.

Am J Emerg Med. 1996;14: MTX caused clinically insignificant changes in hemodynamics or oxygenation, although respiratory depression did occur; significant respiratory depression was brief and easily managed. MTX provided rapid and excellent levels of sedation with little or no patient recall or pain.
