Parental Educational Intervention to Facilitate Informed Consent for Pediatric Procedural Sedation in the Emergency Department: A Parallel-Group Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Obtaining valid parental informed consent for pediatric procedures in the emergency department (ED) is challenging.
