Editors' Notes

4th International Multidisciplinary Conference
on Pediatric Sedation

In this edition of the Newsletter we are happy to present a report of the recent sedation conference sponsored by the Society for Pediatric Sedation which took place in June in Philadelphia.  This conference highlights the evolution of our Society – now at over 450 members and growing. (Minutes from the Board of Directors Meeting are available under the “About Us” section of this site.) Syllabus materials are available for SPS members under “Conferences” on the SPS website.

As always, we have also included a current review of the literature – looking at two large papers from the Emergency Medicine literature.
