Thanks Dr Wilson. Do you experience problems with large children when volume of Dexmedetomidine could be large (above 1 ml)? Have you identified sub-cohort of children where this practice is more prone to failure? Thanks.
Here at Sheffield Children’s Hospital in the UK we have been doing ABR’s under sedation with nasal dexmedetomidine (3mcg/kg) with great success, avoiding a GA altogether for most children.
IV placement? IM ketamine +/- a dash of Precedex…
