chloralhydrate as sedative?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

my daughter Bea (8y.o. DS around 50lbs ) is scheduled to for an Auditory Steady state response test to test her hearing. she might be sedated with chloral hydrate if she does not sleep during the test on her own. Any thoughts on this?

I cant recall what sedative was bad for our kids, if this is bad any alternative suggestions will be appreciated.

I know ive been lurking for quite sometime but am reading all mail, just too busy to post.. :-) you know how it is sometimes. belated happy mothers day to all mothers out there (at least from where I am, mothers day was yestereday;-) and regards to all

best,
