Overview
The Pediatric Sedation and Procedure Service is responsible for the expert sedation of pediatric outpatients and inpatients during invasive procedures and radiological examinations. The course will allow the senior student to actively participate in the care of moderately sedated pediatric patients from intake to recovery. In addition, the student will gain expertise in pediatric invasive procedures with critical care faculty supervision.
Objectives
The student will learn how to appropriately evaluate a pediatric patient prior to a sedation procedure: pertinent physical exam findings including airway classification.
The student will learn how to use the equipment and perform procedures necessary to appropriately monitor a sedated infant or child
The student will learn the process by which decisions are made with respect to pharmacologic choices for sedation in both the inpatient and outpatient setting
The student will learn to obtain an appropriate informed consent for sedation, as well as any other procedure performed under sedation for discovery or advancement of the medical diagnosis or treatment plan
The student will learn and review the following procedures: peripheral intravenous catheter placement, appropriate cardio-respiratory monitoring of the sedated child, noninvasive airway management in the sedated child, including endotracheal intubation, basic and advanced cardiac life support, lumbar puncture, PICC line placement, and central venous line placement
Evaluation
The senior student will be evaluated by the pediatric critical care faculty responsible for the sedation service during the student's rotation. The evaluation will be based on active participation in the care of the sedation service patients. A summation of the faculty evaluations will be done by Dr. Fagan and submitted to the medical school.
