The pediatric practice question posted by user69, brought up an excellent question.
Does anyone bring the parents into the room for induction? What are you opinions regarding this practice?
In the hopsital I am training at, this is almost never done. I agree with this practice. I think most parents bring added stress to the environment, definetly for the most of the health care team and very possibly for the child. I agree with jwk, adequate pre-med is the key.
I believe almost all children should receive Versed, if not for the anxiolysis, then definetly for the amnesia.
Opinions?
