Abstract
Pediatric procedural sedation (PPS) is a common and essential component of emergency department practice, enabling painful, prolonged, or anxiety-producing procedures to be performed in children who are otherwise uncooperative. Over the past two decades, PPS has evolved from a primarily analgesic intervention to a structured process guided by safety protocols, standardized monitoring, and pharmacologic strategies. However, sedation practices vary considerably across regions, particularly between high-resource and resource-limited settings. This review aims to examine current evidence on PPS in the emergency department, with a focus on global practice patterns, safety, pharmacologic management, and monitoring requirements across different resource environments.
