Abstract in brief

  • This study reviews 654 pediatric sedation cases at a freestanding imaging center over one year, focusing on safety, procedures, and outcomes, despite limited staff and no nearby hospital support.
  • Most children underwent MRI scans, mainly sedated with propofol, with an average sedation duration of about 55 minutes, and the majority of patients were low acuity (ASA class 2).
  • Adverse events occurred in approximately 16% of cases, mostly minor issues like desaturation, but serious complications such as apnea were rare, highlighting the safety of deep sedation in this offsite setting.
