The Department of Anesthesia at Children's Hospital Boston provides sedation services for children who must undergo a variety of painful or frightening procedures.

These procedures may be required as part of either the diagnostic work-up or treatment of disorders such as cancer, blood diseases, gastrointestinal disturbances or cerebral palsy.

Our sedation services are provided in a room with full anesthetizing and monitoring capabilities outside of the main operating room suite so physicians and families can have easy access to their child. The room is appropriate for procedures that could be performed in a doctor's office/procedure room if deep sedation or general anesthesia were not needed.
