Several medications are used for moderate sedation in pediatric patients. The choice of medication depends on the specific needs of the patient and procedure. Commonly used drugs include: - Midazolam: A benzodiazepine that provides anxiolysis and amnesia. - Fentanyl: An opioid analgesic for pain relief. - Ketamine: A dissociative anesthetic that provides sedation, analgesia, and amnesia. - Propofol: A sedative-hypnotic agent used for its rapid onset and short duration of action.
