Abstract
Several methods of sedation have been described to enable successful treatment of children undergoing cranial irradiation. Careful planning and vigilance during the periprocedural period are essential to ensure the best outcomes. Standard monitoring and total intravenous anesthesia with or without a secure airway are common methods of anesthetic delivery. Observation in an adequately staffed and equipped recovery room should be considered for patients requiring a prolonged recovery from anesthesia.
