Study Summary
The purpose of this two-year project is to pilot test an intervention to change sedation management in pediatric patients supported on mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). While ensuring patient comfort is an integral part of pediatric critical care, analgesic and sedative use in this patient population is associated with injury; specifically, comfort medications may depress spontaneous ventilation and prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation. Additionally, drug tolerance develops over time and may precipitate iatrogenic abstinence syndrome (chemical withdrawal) when the patient no longer requires sedation. Alternatively, suboptimal comfort management contributes to the patient not breathing synchronously with the ventilator and/or self-removal of breathing tubes. Our group has developed and validated a nurse-implemented sedation algorithm (set of specific instructions) to guide titration of comfort medications that may optimize patient comfort and reduce the risk of under-medication, but this algorithm needs to be evaluated further. We hypothesize that pediatric patients managed per sedation protocol will experience fewer days of mechanical ventilation than patients receiving usual care. This research has the potential of revolutionizing sedation practices that are driven by and synchronized to patient needs.
