BACKGROUND: Pediatric sedation clinics are rare in low-income countries. Our aim is to describe the establishment of the first-ever pediatric sedation clinic in Ethiopia and provide an assessment of its safety and efficacy over the 5 years since its establishment.
METHODS: A multi-phase approach was undertaken. In the first phase, we analyzed barriers to procedural pain management through repeated focus group discussions with stakeholders. Subsequently, we conducted a modified sedation provider course from the Society for Pediatric Sedation (SPS) with pre and post-training testing to document course effectiveness. Finally, we developed a procedural sedation clinic at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. In the second phase, we prospectively collected outcome data over a 5-year period from patients receiving procedural sedation at the clinic. This included assessing the efficacy of sedation and documenting any adverse events that occurred during the procedures.
RESULT: One hundred three providers completed the procedural sedation course. There was a 13.4% improvement in knowledge between baseline and post-course testing. A total of 2,820 patients underwent procedural sedation over the 5-year period from 2016 through 2021, and data selected from 475 (16.8%) patients were analyzed. The most common procedure performed was bone marrow aspiration/biopsy in 384 subjects (80.8%). The most common procedural sedation used was the combination of ketamine and propofol in 60.6%. The mean pain score during the procedure was 0.28/10, which was significantly lower than the pre-procedural pain score (p-value < 0.001). A total of 9 (1.9%) patients had adverse events and there was no mortality.
CONCLUSION: Based on our experience, development of a safe and effective sedation clinic is possible in resource-limited settings as evidenced by low procedural pain scores, and low adverse events rates. Provider training based on a modification of the SPS course improved overall procedural sedation knowledge.
