Resumo
Background: Some sedatives used in procedural sedation may impair memory temporarily, which could be beneficial to patients that present fear, anxiety or behavioural problems throughout dental or medical appointment, although they were sedated. Amnesia of aversive experiences may minimize chance of developing psychological trauma. To the best of our knowledge, there is no systematic review to specifically address this topic. The aim of this study was to search for scientific evidence on the amnesic effect of different sedatives in pediatric patients undergoing medical or dental procedures. Methods: Throughout October 2015, electronic databases, such as Public Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (PubMed), Scopus and the Cochrane Library, clinical trial registries and grey literature were searched. Randomized controlled trials that assess amnesia of events that ocurred prior to or during health procedures, in children and adolescents 1–19 years old receiving sedative drugs were included. Two calibrated reviewers (Kappa≥0,8) selected articles. After confirming eligibility, data extraction was carried out and assessment of risk of bias was performed according to the 'Cochrane Collaboration's Tool for Assessing Risk of Bias in Randomized Trials'. Disagreement at all levels were resolved by consensus or by involving a third reviewer. Results: Fifty-two studies were included in this systematic review. Anterograde amnesia was observed in nearly all seventeen studies that compared sedatives with placebo. Among the twelve trials that assessed variations of the same sedative regimen, just three found greater anterograde amnesia when increased dose or different time of administration was used. Retrograde amnesia was assessed only in nine studies, and most of them found that sedatives did not affect recall of information acquired before sedative administration. Benzodiazepines are the most studied sedatives and showed greater ocurrence of anterograde amnesia. Most studies were at unclear risk of bias and the overall quality of the evidence was low. Conclusion: The scientific evidente on the amnesic effects of sedatives in children and adolescents is limited. Benzodiazepines showed to induce anterograde amnesia, but it is a weak evidence. This systematic review point out the necessity of further clinical trials that focus on memory as a primary outcome.
