Abstract

diazepam midazolam pethidine adolescent angiography child hip arthrography human intravenous drug administration major clinical study methodology myelography oral drug administration outpatient
A retrospective review was done of the outcomes of 102 invasive radiologic procedures - including myelography, angiography and needle aspiration biopsy - performed on an outpatient basis in 94 pediatric patients. Four children had complications requiring visits to their physicians, but no patients required hospitalization after the procedure. With appropriate patient selection, invasive studies performed on an outpatient basis in infants, children, and adolescents are safe.
