Procedural sedation for pediatric patients in the emergency department at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, K.S.A.
Article in Journal of emergencies, trauma, and shock, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
unlabelledProcedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) has become the standard of care for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures undertaken in the Emergency Department (ED). In the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) of King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH), which is a major teaching hospital in Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabia we developed a standard protocol for PSA since 2005. The aim of this article is to report the experience at KKUH in pediatric PSA.
objectivesTo report the experience at KKUH in pediatric PSA.
objectivesTo report the experience at KKUH in pediatric PSA. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective cross-sectional study of all cases who underwent PSA for painful procedures in Pediatric Emergency at KKUH from December 2005 to July 2008.
resultsA total of 183 patients were reviewed. 179 patients were analyzed. Age ranges from 4 months to 13 years (mean 6 years). Nearly 66% were male. Ketamine was the most commonly used drug. Reduction of fracture/dislocation was the most common indication for sedation. Adverse events were identified in only 5.6% of patients. Vomiting was the most common recorded side-effect. The length of stay in the ED was ranging from 28 to 320 min (mean 111 min).
conclusionIntravenous Ketamine is a consistently effective method of producing a rapid, brief period of adequate sedation and analgesia in children in the ED with no major side-effects noted in our experience.
