PediSedate Helps With Sedation, May Create New Cultural Phenomenon

Filed under: Anesthesiology , Dentistry , Pediatrics

As many anesthesiologists and dentists are acutely aware, administering inhalational anesthetics to young uncooperative patients can be a tricky business.
Not seeing any advantage in having someone strap a mask to their face, children will often automatically reject it and proceed to star in an ad hoc theatrical production for the entire clinical staff.

In a stroke of genius, Dr. Geoffrey Hart brought together an immersive video game display, a pulse oxymeter, capnometer, and a nitrous oxide delivery tube to create an entirely new gaming experience. Pulling down the snorkel over the eyes and nose activates the video screen and allows the anesthetic to be introduced by the physician without all the huffing and puffing.
