Article Synopsis
  • High-flow oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is a vital rescue treatment for infants and children experiencing respiratory failure from various conditions but poses risks for those with congenital heart diseases.
  • HFOV operates by delivering small tidal volumes at high frequencies, which can manipulate essential hemodynamic parameters, potentially endangering congenital heart patients.
  • Recent studies suggest that HFOV may not significantly impact these hemodynamic factors and can be beneficial for pediatric patients with congenital heart issues, leading to a re-evaluation of its use in this population.

Background: Children undergoing diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures often require sedation to achieve immobility and analgesia if the procedure is painful. In the past decades, leading scientific organizations have developed evidence-based guidelines for procedural sedation and analgesia in children outside of the operating room. Their recommendations are being applied to procedural sedation in radiology.
