1. Scheduling questions

Objective: Determine the bedtime of your patient

Initial Question: “

“What time does your child go to bed?”

Follow-up Questions: Is it difficult for your child

difficult to sleep in the evening?

How does your child act when he/she is overtired?

Does your child fall asleep during the day? when and where?

1. Scheduling: Information Preventative education for parents

Proper Scheduling

1. Problems with natural sleepAdverse effects of sleep deprevation

1. The cooperative child

straight parents

Child plays with mri console and technician

Mothers warm arm

Warm meal

Cosy clothes and music

cosy images and toys near to the child

Extinction: “cry it out”, effective but of limited acceptance

Avoid “double bind” situations

1. Sleep Test

1. The cooperative adult Controlling Consciousness: Paradox Effects

Paradox Processes in thinking

The harder you try to control thought, the less likely you are to succeed! (i.e. for 30 seconds, do not think about bananas)

Paradox Processes in controlling anxiety

The harder you try to control anxiety, the less likely you are to succeed!

1. The cooperative adult

Solution 1: oral Diazepam (0,5 – 3,0 mg)

Solution 2: oral Midazolam (

Onset: 2 - 18 min

Duration: 20 - 30 min

Antidot: Flumazenil

Sudden unexpected Panic?

An altered state of consciousness characterized by a sense of deep relaxation and a loss of selfawareness.

2. Meditation (for Adults)

Prayer

Concentrative meditation: focus on one stimulus

Opening-up meditation: focus on one stimulus but then opens to encompass whole of

surroundings

Mindfulness meditation: meditator focuses on whatever is most prominent at moment

decreases stress, reduces tension and anxiety improves performance reduces oxygen consumption decreases heart rate decreases respiration rate lowers physiological arousal

2. Effects of Meditation

2. Guided Imagenery (for Children and Adults)

Immediate Rapport Rapport is the foundation upon which all other elements of Anodyne are built. Quick and predictable rapport establishes the trust necessary to effectively induce and maintain the Anodyne State of relaxation and patient cooperation.  

Effective use of language The correct use of language is vital to the results we get, it enables us to address both the conscious and unconscious mind of the patient. We directly affect the outcome of the patient's experience with language because literally everything we say is a suggestion to the unconscious mind.  

Relaxation Breath The "get you through anything" tool, the relaxation breath is easy to learn and easy to teach to every patient. It's uses include: general relaxation, relief of pain and anxiety, and control of physiological processes.  

.

2. Guided Imagenery (for Children and Adults)

'Preferred Place' Imagery The preferred place imagery technique easily allows the patient's mind to be anywhere they choose while their body is comfortably undergoing the procedure.  

Shifting Submodalities Shifting submodalities is an extremely quick and effective imagery technique that can literally dissolve any resistances the patient has to relaxation and/or cooperation.  

Control of Physiological Processes Simple language techniques enable practitioners to help patients control physiological processes such as bleeding, heart rate, blood pressure, peristalsis, salivation, and swallowing 

3. Conscious sedation: Definition

Pharmacological induced state of depressed consciousness with the defining characteristic that the patient can make appropriate stimulation at all times. This level of sedation is accompanied by an intact airway and maintenance of protective reflexes.

3. Conscious sedation 0 - 3 Monate

after beeing awake about 3 - 4 hours and after normal feeding and swaddling and only if necessary after rectal chloral hydrate (50 mg/kg) wait up to 5 minutes after beginning of sleep test for deep sleep give earphones, a warm blanket, nuckle use a vacuum cap

3. Conscious sedation3 - 36 Monate

well fed and dry clothes withpout metal change sleep cycle additional mild rectal chloral hydrate (50 mg/kg) wait until phase of deep sleep

3. Conscious sedation Age 3 - 6 years:

friendly atmosphere and clear decisions

parents are responsible emotional blackmail clear prospects choice with or without parents

Risk classification (American Society of Anaesthesiology Classification)

1. normaly healthy patient

2. mild systemic disease

3. severe systemic disease

4. severe systemic disease with threat to life

5. moribund patient (24 h)

3. Conscious sedation: PreparationWhat the responsible physician has to know for the

optimal choice of time and procedure!

Nutrition before sedation

2 hr before sedation: clear liquids (every age)

4 hr before sedation: solid or semisolid food (under 6 M)6 hr before sedation: solid or semisolid food (under 6-36 M)

8 hr before sedation: solid or semisolid food (more than 36 M

3. Conscious sedation: PreparationWhat the responsible physician has to tell

to the parents or nurse!

3. Postprocedural care and discharge: AAPCOD discharge criteria

cardiovascular system stable airways patent protective reflexes intact speech near to normal (if age-appropriate) responsiveness recovered sitting up is possible (if age-appropriate) hydration is adequate minimal or no nausea

3. Postprocedural care and discharge: AAPCOD discharge criteria
