Background: Non-intubated children frequently undergo emergent procedures in the trauma-bay. This study evaluates whether patients treated with procedural sedation have an increased risk for severe adverse events.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 1182 children with an injury severity score (ISS) of greater than 15.
Results: Of the 565 patients who were spontaneously breathing on arrival, 455 were hemodynamically stable with a Glasgow Coma Score of 15, 201 of whom were treated with sedation; 144 (71.6%) had computerized tomography scan, 35 (17.5%) wound debridement, and 22 (10.9%) fracture reduction. Sedation patients had an ISS of 20 (interquartile range 17-25). There were no death cases, no cases of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and no cases of neurologic sequelae on hospital discharge. There were 2 (1%) cases of unanticipated endotracheal intubation.
Conclusions: Non-intubated patients who were hemodynamically stable with a Glasgow Coma Score of 15 had a low risk for severe adverse events due to sedation.

Aims: To assess and compare the effectiveness of pharmacological and cognitive-behavioral modalities-behavioral methods (BM), nitrous oxide inhalation sedation (NOIS), and premedication with Diazepam-for alleviating anxiety during dental treatment, using completed treatment sessions and adverse outcomes as indicators.
Methods And Results: For 239 patients (515 dental records), 18-53 y/o, who underwent dental treatments under anxiety reduction measures, sessions under NOIS were categorized as "nitrous group" (456 sessions) versus premedication with Diazepam or behavioral strategies (control, 59 sessions). Outcomes were completed treatment sessions considering demographic and clinical parameters, and adverse outcomes during and between sessions.

When a difficult airway is anticipated, awake tracheal intubation can be considered. Usually, low doses of sedatives are administered during this procedure for minimal sedation and anxiolysis, such as midazolam and remifentanil. The newly developed ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine remimazolam has a pharmacokinetic profile that is more suitable for titration during awake tracheal intubation than the long-acting midazolam.

Awake craniotomy (AC) facilitates real-time brain mapping, maximizing tumor resection while preserving critical neurological functions. This study systematically reviews the efficacy of several anesthetic protocols under Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) during AC, focusing on clinical outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using data from observational studies and randomized trials involving AC under MAC.
