Reducing Pain and Anxiety
The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Unit is committed to providing care while minimizing pain, anxiety and discomfort for children and their families.
Emergency medicine specialists, pediatricians and nurses with specialized training in pediatric emergency care provide sedation services when required during urgent medical procedures. Sedation can help reduce distress, improve patient cooperation and support the safe and successful completion of treatment.
