Pediatric Anesthesia Safety Initiative (PASI)

요약

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of grant funds for the support of the Pediatric Anesthesia Safety Initiative (PASI). The goal of PASI is to bridge the scientific and clinical gaps in the field of pediatrics to ensure the safe use of anesthetic and sedative agents in children. FDA seeks under PASI to encourage and facilitate scientific collaboration among multiple stakeholders within a public-private partnership (PPP) framework and to support the conduct of non-clinical and clinical studies to answer unknown questions regarding the effects of anesthetics and sedatives in the pediatric population. The output from PASI will help to inform the work of FDA as part of its public health mission.
