Abstract

Objective: To establish a procedural sedation (PS) time line for patients in the pediatric emergency department (PED) with orthopedic injuries. Methods: Retrospective review of patients requiring PS for orthopedic injuries. Process times were collected. Ten percent of encounters were co-reviewed. Interrater reliability and descriptive statistics were calculated. Results: A total of 189 patients were included. Co-abstracted data demonstrated excellent agreement. The median time to PS and length of stay (LOS) were 214 (interquartile range [IQR]: 160-282) and 320 (IQR: 257-402) minutes, respectively. Conclusion: Patients with orthopedic injuries requiring PS experience prolonged PED visits. Interventions should target safely reducing the time to PS and LOS.
