While sedation is a protocol for pediatric imaging patients, the division’s commitment to patient care has included an initiative to reduce patient sedations. Utilizing a variety of distraction techniques, sedation rates were reduced 90 percent in one year, and the trend continues downward.
The new Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC is a 1.5 million-square-foot facility located in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh that boasts a state-of-the-art radiology department.
