Episode description
Author: Sam Killian, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Recent study examining fasting and adverse events during procedural sedation found no association between fasting duration and any type of adverse event.
- Of the 6,183 children in the study, about 6 vomited during the procedure, and about 300 vomited recently after the procedure, and there were no episodes of aspiration.
