487 - Retrospective Review of Pediatric Conscious Sedation at The University of Toledo College of Medicine Department of Dentistry

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective review was to evaluate current in office sedation protocols, as well as establish body surface area dosing guidelines.



Methods: A retrospective review of oral conscious sedation patients under sixteen years old who were seen in The University of Toledo dental service, during the 2020-2021 academic year, by the class of 2021. One hundred twenty-two charts were reviewed. The data collected included: age, height, weight, SpO2, temperature, ETCO2, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, gender, level of consciousness and sedation medications used. Sedation effectiveness was also evaluated. The Body Surface Area (BSA) and Body Mass Index (BMI) were calculated from the data recorded.



Results: The average patient parameters were as follows: age (87 months), height (127.16 cm), weight (29.43 kg), SpO2 (98.9), temperature (97°F), ETCO2 (21.5), heart rate (91 bpm), and respiratory rate (19 bpm). The average BSA was 1.01m2 and BMI 17.53. 93.8% of the cases were successful and 6.2% unsuccessful.



Conclusion: The results showed that current in office sedation medications, dosing and protocols are safe and effective.
