Background An intravenous sedation (IVS) service was established in 2008 for young people aged 12 years or over, within the paediatric dentistry department at the Eastman Dental Hospital in London. The aim of this study was to carry out a service evaluation and assess the case mix and success rate of this service over the last ten years.Materials and methods A retrospective service evaluation was carried out, including all patients attending the IVS clinic between April 2009 and March 2019.Results A total of 457 patients attended over 525 appointments. The mean age was 14. The success rate was over 98%. The average dose of midazolam was 4 mg and dosage ranged from 1.5-10 mg.Conclusion This IVS service has been established successfully and offers patients an alternative to general anaesthetic. This consequently reduced the general anaesthetic waiting list by 10%.
2008年，伦敦伊斯特曼牙科医院儿科牙科部门为12岁及以上的青少年设立了静脉镇静（IVS）服务。本研究的目的是进行服务评估，并评估该服务在过去十年中的病例组合和成功率。
进行了一项回顾性服务评估，纳入了2009年4月至2019年3月期间在IVS诊所就诊的所有患者。
共有457名患者就诊超过525次。平均年龄为14岁。成功率超过98%。咪达唑仑的平均剂量为4毫克，剂量范围为1.5-10毫克。
该IVS服务已成功设立，为患者提供了全身麻醉的替代方案。这相应地使全身麻醉等待名单减少了10%。
