Procedural Sedation And Analgesia in Children in the Emergency Department: The Role of Adjunct Therapies

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Conscious Sedation

In brief

The role of Adjunct therapies such as Child Life therapy and Music listening during Procedural Sedation and Analgesia(PSA) for children during painful procedures has not been studied in the Emergency Department (ED). The investigators hypothesize that there will be a reduction in sedation medication dosage without change in sedation efficacy by addition of music therapy and Child Life to standard sedation protocol in children 3-15 years of age who undergo PSA for painful (orthopedic procedures, laceration repair, incision and drainage) procedures in a Pediatric emergency Department (PED).
