What to Expect
A member of our sedation team will call you to talk about your child. We will create a sedation plan based on his or her special needs. Please ask us any questions you may have, and tell us anything you think is important about your child's care.
The average visit for a child receiving sedation is four hours, however this can change based on the needs of your child. Most of the time, children are admitted and discharged on the same day. Each child is assigned their own nurse from the sedation team. A doctor is also in the area at all times.
Your child will sleep as long as is needed to complete the procedure. After it is done, your sedation nurse will decide when to wake your child up based on their personal sedation plan.
