Cravero JP, Beach ML, Blike G, et al. The incidence and nature of adverse events during pediatric sedation/anesthesia with propofol for procedures outside the operating room: a report from the Pediatric Sedation Research Consortium. Anesth Analg. 2009;108(3):795-804. doi:10.1213/ane.0b013e31818fc334.
Use of propofol for conscious sedation for pediatric procedures was associated with a very low incidence of adverse events, but the authors caution that these data are derived from institutions with organized sedation services.
