Description
Martina Langeli and ten co-authors surveyed how Italian community hospitals calm children for procedures, in a 2025 paper. Sedation and pain relief help children through medical procedures. Staff at four mid-level hospitals answered questions on practice and knowledge. Response rates were high, and several hundred complete surveys were analyzed.
Nearly all staff called child procedure pain an important topic. Almost all agreed sedation helps procedures succeed and eases children's experience. Yet nearly half were unhappy with pain control at their own workplace. Over half said their knowledge was inadequate, and test items bore that out. One drug was by far the most available and most used. Lack of training was named the top barrier by most respondents. The authors call for targeted training and wider drug access.
