Abstract
This article summarizes the principles and practice of effective conscious sedation techniques for common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in children. It does not cover sedation for intensive care or anxiolytic premedication before anaesthesia. Given that a conscious patient can independently maintain a clear airway and adequate breathing, conscious sedation is safe because the patient remains conscious. Safety of any sedation technique is dependent upon the ability of practitioners to prevent or safely manage deeper levels of sedation.
