To the Editor.
In the March issue of Pediatrics, Parker et al1 report the use of intravenous ketamine and midazolam for conscious sedation in children. We read their report with interest and applaud their effort to consider alternative techniques for delivering sedation to children for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. However, several aspects of this report concern us.
The use of the term "conscious sedation" is problematic. The
authors acknowledge that about one third of the patients actually met
the criteria for deep sedation
