The authors report on adverse events and sedation outcomes for an oral sedation regimen of chloral hydrate, meperidine and hydroxyzine with 100 percent oxygen, or O2, supplementation. ⋯ This oral sedation regimen offers reasonable outcomes with minimal adverse events under a strict protocol and use of O2 supplementation. The results also revealed associations that give guidance for case selection and outcome prediction.
