Participant Flow

Patients were screened for eligibility using electronic medical records and if eligible were approached by the study Research Assistant(RA) for informed consent. If the parent/guardian refused participation, were non- English speaking and if parent/legal guardian was not present to complete the informed consent process they were excluded from study

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During the Procedure

compare sedation efficacy among the 3 groups using Ramsey sedation scales and FACES -P (FACES-Pediatric)scale. The Ramsey sedation scales scores sedation at six different levels, according to how arousable the patient is. The continuum of sedation is measured from 1-6 with higher values representing a deeper level of sedation. 1. Patient is anxious and agitated or restless, or both 2. Patient is co-operative, oriented, and tranquil 3. Patient responds to commands only 4. Patient exhibits brisk response to light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus 5. Patient exhibits a sluggish response to light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus 6. Patient exhibits no response The Faces- PScale is a self-report measure used to assess the intensity of children's pain. The scale ranges from 0 to 10 with 0 indicating no hurt or discomfort to 10 :hurts most/worst
