Design and Development of an Intervention to Improve the Quality and Safety of Pediatric Dental Sedation: A Human-Centered Design Approach
This study used human-centered design to identify key challenges in pediatric dental conscious sedation and develop a multicomponent intervention in collaboration with patients, parents, and providers. The research demonstrates the potential of this approach to enhance sedation quality and safety, with future studies needed to assess its impact.
