== Key Points ==
* Pediatric procedures should be performed with pharmacological and nonpharmacological adjuncts to minimize pain ('''analgesia'''), decrease anxiety ('''anxiolysis'''), and provide '''sedation'''.
* Fasting status has ''no'' correlation with aspiration. Preprocedural fasting is ''not'' required and only prevents a ''theoretical'' risk of aspiration, though ''no'' evidence supports this risk.
