    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Anesthesiology
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Radiotherapy in children often requires sedation for patient comfort and immobility.
    • Traditional sedatives may have limitations in efficacy or safety for this population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketamine as a sedative agent for pediatric patients undergoing radiotherapy.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 272 ketamine administrations in 16 children undergoing radiotherapy.
    • Assessment of sedation quality and complication rates.

    Main Results:

    • Ketamine provided satisfactory sedation in all cases.
    • A low incidence of complications was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Ketamine is a safe and effective sedative for pediatric radiotherapy.
    • It is the preferred agent for sedating children during radiation therapy.
