The primary outcome measure was procedure tolerance, with secondary measures including return to the emergency department within 15\u00a0days, complications, and facility costs associated with treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 188 patients were identified. The median age was 14 years (interquartile range, 9\u201016). Awake drainage with injected local anesthetic was used in 115 children; 62 underwent CS; and 11 underwent GA. Over 92% of the children tolerated I&amp;D regardless of anesthesia, with no difference among groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =. 60). None of those who underwent I&amp;D via CS returned to the emergency department within 15\u00a0days of the procedure, as compared with 5.2% for the awake group and 9.1% for the GA group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =. 06). None in the GA or awake group had a complication associated with the procedure, as opposed to 9.6% in the CS group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =. 02). Complications included apnea and dental trauma (2 children each) and transient hypotension and desaturation (1 each).
