Robyn Bella

Neurodevelopmental disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) cause difficulties with social cognition and communication. Additionally, children with ASD exhibit typical restricted, stereotypical, and repetitive behaviors.Children with ASD may also exhibit other associated symptoms, such as hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to various external stimuli like touch and sound, in addition to the core symptoms. In addition, some children with ASD may be anxious in unfamiliar situations and take longer to adjust, necessitating sedation during medical procedures. Seo and co., Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures like MRI, dental procedures, minimally invasive procedures, and electroencephalograms frequently necessitate sedation. Sedation may also be necessary for managing aggressive and self-injurious behavior in the intensive care unit and for mechanical ventilation.
