Current sedation practices for non-invasive procedures in tertiary maternity and children's hospitals in China: a 5-year update.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sedation techniques can ease anxiety during medical procedures for children. Our previous report on Chinese sedation practices for non-invasive procedures in 2018 is outdated due to the rapid development of sedation services. This study provides an updated report on sedation practices for non-invasive procedures in China.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study. Questionnaires were sent to tertiary maternity and children's hospitals nationwide through the WeChat Mini Program. The survey questioned the location and caseloads of hospitals providing sedation services, support facilities, contraindications, fasting practices, sedation regimens, monitoring practices, staff structure, certification requirements for sedation providers and quality control data.
