Is child sedation safe?

Understanding the Effects of Sedation on Children

When it comes to moderate sedation and general anesthesia, the effects can persist for a significantly longer duration, often ranging from 6 to 8 hours. During this time, your child may experience drowsiness, confusion, and a sense of mental fog. While their cardiovascular and pulmonary health will be monitored and remain stable, it's important to note that they may be at risk of falls.
