Article Synopsis
- Pediatric patients often receive procedural sedation for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), but this can lead to airway incidents and adverse events (AIAE).
- A study compared the rates of AIAE in children who received topical pharyngeal anesthetics (TPA) as part of their sedation versus those who did not.
- The results showed that those who received the benzocaine spray experienced a higher rate of AIAE, although most incidents were mild, with only a few patients facing serious adverse events.
