Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to validate the diagnostic performance of the amplified pretracheal stethoscope (APS) to detect sedation-related adverse acute respiratory events in propofol sedated nonintubated children. To determine the sensitivity/specificity and positive/negative predictive value of the APS in detecting sedation-related adverse acute respiratory events in propofol sedated nonintubated children.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients 2 years to 18 years of age undergoing induction and maintenance of propofol sedation at the American Family Children's Hospital (AFCH) Pediatric Sedation Clinic * American Society of Anesthesiology score (ASA) of 1-2

Exclusion criteria

* ASA scoring \> 3 * Oxygen requirement and cardiorespiratory instability * Allergy to propofol or its components * Patients requiring propofol sedation outside the AFCH Pediatric Sedation Clinic

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
An auscultation of a stridor score greater than or equal to 2 will be defined as a sedation-related adverse acute respiratory eventDay 1 of propofol sedation.
A stridor score of less than 2 will be defined as not sedation-related event.Day 1 of sedation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the APS for predicting airway obstruction.Day 1 of propofol sedation.A subject will be considered as evaluable for the sensitivity/specificity evaluation if (1) all inclusion criteria are met, (2) presedation phase is completed, and (3) the sedation induction and maintenance phase is completed.
