A member asked:
Would an injured child being sedated for their own safety be a helpful thing to do?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes if done by a pro: Dental & medical professionals can properly administer sedative agents to an injured child to allow for proper dental or medical treatment to be performed. When a child is under sedation, important monitoring instrumentation is needed to make sure that the child's vital functions are maintained. If a suitable child is safely sedated, properly trained individuals can help if an emergency occurs.

If behavior dangerou: If the behavior of the child is a danger to themself, sedation until the situation is stabilized would be very helpful.
