Abstract

In the Pediatric Critical Care Units (PICUs) the right way to manage analgesia and sedation becomes very important due the need to keep the child with no pain and quiet. To recognize the pain and sedation must be an ordinary practice. It is essential not only know very well those drugs involved, but also their main adverse effects and interactions.  Likewise try to detect in the very beginning delirium and withdrawal it is require in order to assure an adequate attention.


The current COVID 19 pandemic, although it affects the pediatric population in a small proportion, it could cause in these children, the need for critical care. The proper management of analgesia and sedation together with other therapeutic measures, becomes vitally important. Due to all above, these recommendations were writing.
