Procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) for diagnostic and minimally invasive therapeutic procedures has become common practice in children of all ages. Based on our clinical experience, we suspected an inverse relation between age and dosage. However, a schedule for age-stratified propofol induction and maintenance dosage for PSA was not available and could be helpful to many anesthesiologists as a reference.
