Brief Summary

At a tertiary care university hospital a specialized interdisciplinary team of paediatric anaesthesiologists and paediatric intensivists was established for providing analgosedation for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The aim of the present study was to analyse the incidence and risk factors of adverse events during procedural sedation performed by the Children's Analgosedation Team (CAST).

Detailed Description

At a tertiary care university hospital a dedicated Children's Analgosedation Team (CAST) performs all procedural sedations in children outside the operating room. Often patient age, comorbidities and procedures involving the airway are considered risk factors for adverse events, but previous studies investigating adverse events did not involve implementation of a specialised sedation team. Medical records of all children receiving procedural sedation by the CAST were reviewed for the incidence of adverse events. A bivariate analysis as well as an analysis of variance using type II Wald chi-square tests were conducted for identifying potential risk factors for adverse Events.
