Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Success rate of adequate sedation (PSSS= 1,2,3) within 15 minutes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Onset time of sedation (PSSS= 0,1,2,3);Duration of sedation = Recovery time (PSSS= 4,5);PSSS, HR, SpO2, RR at Baseline(T0), q 10min (BP measurement when HR 20seconds);The incidence of significant desaturation (SpO2 10 seconds);The incidence of respiratory intervention: Manual ventilation or Artificial airway;The lowest SpO2 value (%);The incidence of significant bradycardia (-30% from baseline);The incidence of significant hypotension (-30% from baseline);The incidence of hemodynamic intervention: fluid management, intravenous medication;Patients’ acceptance (1=excellent, 2=good, 3=fair, 4=poor);Separation anxiety (1=easy, 2=whimper, 3=cry, 4=cry and cling to parents);Physicians’ satisfaction (1=excellent, 2=good, 3=fair, 4=poor);Tthe incidence of Other side effects (Ex: Nausea/Vomit, Allergic reaction, Etc);Failure of adequate sedation (PSSS= 0, 4,5) after 30 min;Rescue sedation agent (method);Type of procedure;Completion of procedure ;Causes of Procedure failure
