Creating a sedation service for pediatric urodynamics: our experience.

Interpretable urodynamics studies are difficult to obtain in children, many of whom exhibit significant behavioral distress during catheterization. To address the needs of these children, researchers developed a sedation service and reviewed the literature that supported the creation of this service. This article will present the authors'experience in creating a service to meet the needs of these children as well as the initial outcomes of the sedation service.

Identifying characteristics of children requiring sedation for urodynamics.

The aim of this study was to identify characteristics of children requiring sedation for urodynamics. Findings suggest children between the ages of 3 and 7 are more likely to require sedation for urodynamics when compared to other age groups.
