So that your child is fully prepared for the procedure they are having under sedation, they should be given advice that is suitable for them about:
-
the procedure that they will be having when they are sedated
-
what they should do and what the healthcare professional will do
-
what they may feel when having the procedure (for example, numbness)
-
how to cope with the procedure.
The healthcare professional giving your child advice should check that they have understood the information.
