Sedation services at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford are a safe way to reduce fear and anxiety during procedures. Sedation is used to help many children get through various tests and procedures by giving medicine to help them relax and complete the procedure safely.
We offer sedation services for patients in inpatient and outpatient settings. We pride ourselves on using a customized approach to sedation, with both pharmacological and nonpharmacological methods, to ensure that every child’s individual needs are met. Our team offers IV, oral, nasal, and inhaled sedation options to provide minimal and moderate sedation. Our family-centered sedation services are tailored to meet your child’s needs before, during, and after their procedure.
