The study compares the effects of non-operative radiological reduction (NORR) for pediatric intussusception, assessing outcomes in patients who were sedated versus those who were not.
Results showed a success rate of 72.7% in sedated patients compared to 61.2% for awake patients, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).
Overall, NORR can be performed successfully with or without sedation, although sedation carries added anesthetic risks that need careful consideration.
