Background: Procedural pain control remains problematic for young children, especially during anxiety-causing procedures for which children should not be deeply sedated. The PediSedate was designed to address this problem by delivering nitrous oxide in oxygen through a simple nosepiece, combined with an interactive video component, so that children can use attention and distraction with drug delivery.
Objectives: We conducted a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the PediSedate for reducing children's behavioral distress in comparison with standard care in the emergency department.
