About

This podcast features an interview with Jay Pershad, a pediatric emergency medicine physician. It discusses how doctors and nurses help children feel comfortable and safe during medical procedures in the emergency department (ED) and other places. It explains different ways to give sedation, which helps kids relax or sleep so they do not feel pain or get scared. It also talks about keeping children safe while using these medicines, what steps to follow before, during, and after sedation, and why teamwork is important for good care.
