AB From  the  dark  years  when  medicine  taught  that  neonates  feel  no  pain,  we  have  emerged  into  an  era  when,  finally,  pain  and  sedation  assessment  have  become  as  important  as  any  other  vital  sign  in  every  patient.  Sedation  and  pain  management  can  present  challenges  for  the  pediatric  practitioner:  Many  patients  are  too  young  to  verbalize  their  discomfort.  Practically,  there  are  no  truly  objective  measures  of  pain:  It  is  a  personal,  often  emotional,  experience  unique  to  each  patient.  Pediatric  patients  range  from  the  articulate  to  the  noncommunicative,  providing  unique  challenges  in  the  management  of  their  pain.
