About

Sedation is often required for pediatric medical imaging procedures to ensure compliance and quality images. Recommendations exist regarding pediatric sedation, but there are currently no guidelines regarding the choice of the sedative drug. We aim to compare the efficacy and adverse events of per os pentobarbital with intravenous chlorpromazine in children undergoing diagnostic imaging procedures.
