What is Sedation?

Sedation medication will put your child in a sedated sleep state so that he or she is relaxed enough to remain still for the test. Sedation is not the same as general anesthesia. With sedation, your child will not feel anything during the test.

There are different types of sedation. The day of the study, the sedating physician will discuss which sedation medication will be best for your child’s healthcare needs.

Why Sedation?

It is important that your child is comfortable and stays very still during the test to ensure the best results possible.
