AbstractThis article describes the most current and effective means for providing sedation and analgesia for the pediatric patient. Three basic levels for sedation can be defined: conscious sedation, deep sedation and general anesthesia. Treatment of pain is also established according to an analgesic ladder. Providing safe and effective sedation and analgesia to children requires appropriate selection of drugs and dosage, proper monitoring, knowledge of potential side effects, and adequate airway management equipment and personnel. Agents available for sedation and analgesia of children and therapeutic options according to different clinical situations are described.
