Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) This book is primarily dedicated to my mother and father, whose sacrifi ce, love, and encouragement enabled me to pursue my goals and dreams. Leading by example, they showed me to persevere, remain positive, optimistic, and always strive to achieve my personal best. Thank you to my husband, Ed, for continuing in my parents’ footsteps of encouragement and support. Finally, thanks to God for the gift of Tyler and Colin, my sons whom I can only hope to guide, nurture, and provide for as my parents did for me. Pref ace I am honored and thrilled to present within the short span of only 2 years, this updated and expanded 2nd edition. The book has doubled in size, chapters, and authorship, most notably with the signifi cant expansion of contributions from international leaders. These authors are pioneers in their areas of expertise, both in the United States and abroad, not only in the fi eld of sedation but also in the areas of law, ethics, child psychology, child development, pediatrics, neonatology, simulation, drug development, patient safety, and pharmacology. This book is a testimony to the passion and commitment of all the contributing authors to advance the knowl- edge and practice of pediatric sedation. P ediatric Sedation Outside of the Operating Room: A Multispecialty International Collaboration is intended to represent and be applicable to sedation providers of any specialty from around the world. Our international contributors represent Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. I am very appreciative of their efforts. Each chapter has been revised and edited a minimum of three times (some as many as six) and I extend a sincere “thank you” to each author. This book is a unique and authoritative contribution to the fi eld of pediatric sedation. As an expansion of the fi rst book, it is directed to all specialties and specifi cally acknowledges and reviews the contributions and viewpoints of a broad range of international societies and spe- cialists. Sedation has evolved to include all specialties. Although each chapter is written by a specialist in his/her particular area, it is intended to be of value to those who do not necessarily practice in that area. For example, the pediatrician in the United States will learn something in the P ediatric Sedation: The South Pacifi c Approach chapter that can be applied or considered for his own practice. Those chapters that are clinically oriented conclude with Case Studies, which present chal- lenging clinical scenarios. This is a unique fi nale as it is the author’s presentation of real-life cases. The intent of these Case Studies is to guide the reader through the challenges, thought processes, and management options for each situation. Certainly there are many possible solu- tions to each scenario: Exploring them through the eyes of the experienced author offers a unique and valuable perspective. This book may be read cover to cover or read a chapter at a time, out of succession. There is intentional, albeit minimal, repetition in the book. The repetition is intended not only to solidify important information for the reader but also to convey relevant information for those who may not be reading the book cover to cover. Even the “repetition” is presented in a differ- ent style by the individual authors, in most cases masking the repeated elements. The fi nal form of this book went to the publisher in April 2014. Every chapter was updated in these fi nal weeks with any recently published papers. The galley proofs were reviewed and again the chapters were all updated as recently as the summer of 2014. This book represents a global collaboration. Currently the fi eld of sedation is being chal- lenged by politics, differing viewpoints and our inability to reach a consensus. Our ability to come together, outside of this book, will be essential to the future of our pediatric patients who receive sedation. vii viii Preface There will continue to be new clinical and research studies that advance our knowledge of sedation. New sedatives, physiological monitors, and sedation delivery systems will certainly be introduced over the next decade. Regardless, the approach to sedation and the information conveyed in these chapters is intended to distinguish this book as a timeless relic that marks an important era in the fi eld of sedation. Boston, MA, USA Keira P. Mason, M.D. April 15, 2014 Acknowledgments T he most important and heartfelt acknowledgment is to my family. Thank you to my husband, Ed, and to my two sons, Colin and Tyler, for bearing with the “motherless” weekends and evenings as I worked on this book. You have all supported me not only for this book but also throughout my career: Understanding that sharing sedation experience with others to advance the practice, safety, and knowledge of sedation is my passion and has taken me away from home, even missing on occasion some of your important events. Thank you, Tyler, for sitting beside me in the early morning and late night hours to read over my shoulder, encouraging and helping me edit and revise chapters. Thank you, Colin, for your efforts in helping me orga- nize the book and come up with new ideas for book chapters. I would like to express my respect, gratitude, and appreciation to Shelley Reinhardt, Senior Editor in Clinical Medicine and Maureen Pierce, Developmental Editor of Springer. Their gentle prodding, attention to detail, kindness, expertise, and professionalism inspired me to meet all deadlines. Most importantly, they were committed to this project: Committed to supporting all efforts to produce Pediatric Sedation Outside of the Operating Room as a contribution to the fi eld. Shelley, I am so grateful to have benefi tted from your expertise, encouragement and, most importantly, your friendship. THANK YOU. My fi nal acknowledgment is to Ms. Amanda Buckley and Ms. Bailey Mannix. From the inception of the 1st edition of this book to the fi nal moments of its galley proof approval, Amanda devoted even the after-hours ensuring that all references and source information were accurate, the grammar and typos corrected, the copyrights were obtained, and that everything from the table of contents to the fi nal chapter fl owed appropriately. Thank you, Bailey, for fol- lowing Amanda’s footsteps and for creating footsteps of your own with this 2nd edition. I have esteem for your commitment to this edition: Your organization, encouragement, tireless enthu- siasm, and sleuthing skills to uncover important contributions to this book were invaluable. I will always be appreciative of you both. ix
