Emergency Medicine Cases – Episode 76 Pediatric Procedural Sedation – the link is to the podcast and show notes. This is the link to the PDF show notes of Episode 76. The introduction states:
In this EM Cases episode on Pediatric Procedural Sedation with Dr. Amy Drendel, a world leader in pediatric pain management and procedural sedation research, we discuss how best to manage pain and anxiety in three situations in the ED: the child with a painful fracture, the child who requires imaging in the radiology department and the child who requires a lumbar puncture.
BOTTOM LINE RECOMMENDATIONS: Procedural Sedation from TREKK -Translating Emergency Knowledge For Kids:
Performing safe and effective procedural sedation in children requires the same foundational elements as other age groups – skilled personnel, an equipped setting and a structure to manage patients across the sedation continuum. However, children have unique developmental and physiologic vulnerabilities that require special consideration when planning and performing sedation.

Laryngospasm, a common complication after extubation [and Dr. Lopez, in the GCEP video above, states that laryngospasm occurs in 0.4% of ketamine procedural sedations] can be treated by the Larson maneuver — a simple maneuver involving bilateral digital pressure in the laryngospasm notch [well demonstrated in this video].
