Abstract:
The current demand for pediatric procedural sedation outside the operating room often exceeds the capacity of pediatric anesthesiologists and can safely be offered by well-trained pediatric practitioners within a structured sedation program. High-fidelity simulation curricula and competency-based assessments offer a skills-based pathway to credentialing. Published safety and quality data support endeavors that expand pediatric procedural sedation programs staffed by trained nonanesthesiologist practitioners, including pediatric hospitalists. This article reviews recommended core competencies required for pediatric procedural sedation and provides pathways to achieving and maintaining pediatric sedation credentials and hospital privileges.
