The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness and safety of the sedation-analgesia procedure, as well as the satisfaction of the doctors, patients and parents. A multicentre, observational, and prospective analytical study was conducted on the sedation-analgesia procedure performed on children younger than 18 years old in 18 paediatric emergency departments in Spain from February 2015 until January 2016. A total of 658 procedures were recorded. The effectiveness was good in 483 cases (76.1%; 95%CI: 72.7-79.4%), partial in 138 (21.7%; 95%CI: 18.5-24.9%), and poor in 14 (2.2%; 95%CI: 1.1-3.4). The effectiveness was better when the doctor in charge was an emergency paediatrician (OR: 3.14; 95%CI: 1.10-8.95), and when a deeper level of sedation was achieved (OR: 2.37; 95%CI: 1.68-3.35). Fifty two children (8.4%) developed adverse drug reactions, more usually gastrointestinal, neurological or respiratory ones (89.9% were resolved in The sedation-analgesia procedure performed in paediatric emergency departments by trained paediatricians seems to be useful, effective and safe, as well as satisfactory for all participants.esAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Adverse drug reactionsEffectivenessEficaciaEventos adversosParental satisfactionProcedimientos de sedoanalgesiaSatisfacción parentalSedation-analgesia procedureAnalgesiaAttitude of Health PersonnelChildConscious SedationDeep SedationEmergency Service, HospitalFemaleHumansJob SatisfactionMaleParentsPatient SatisfactionProspective StudiesSpainTreatment Outcomeresearch article29650431open access10.1016/j.anpedi.2018.03.0012341-2879https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anpedi.2018.03.001
