Evaluation of Extubation Criteria in Children With Upper Respiratory Infection (URI)

Recruiting
Conditions
Upper Respiratory Tract Infections
Registration Number
NCT04155892
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

The investigators are currently completing a data collection to try to optimize pediatric patients' preoperative screening, in the setting of an upper respiratory infection.

Detailed Description

The objectives of this study are to evaluate various extubation criteria and their predictive value for successful extubation in non-cardiac surgical procedures. To evaluate the predictive value of room air oxygen and an original preoperative URI questionnaire in pediatric patients with URI or URI symptoms.

Inclusion Criteria
  • All study participants must be undergoing general anesthesia and surgery with an endotracheal tube
  • The URI group will be participants with a score of at least 3 on our pre-operative URI survey, with planned airway instrumentation with an endotracheal tube (ETT) for their surgical procedure who are to be discharged same day or on postoperative day 1.
  • The non URI group will be participants undergoing elective procedures with no URI symptom or recent URI. Defined as no URI or "allergy" symptom within the past 6 weeks and a score of 1 or less on the URI survey, with planned airway instrumentation with an ETT for their surgical procedure who are to be discharged same day or on postoperative day 1.

NameTimeMethod
Rate of participants with a successful extubationDay 1

The quality of extubation will be graded as successful, intervention required or major intervention required

The rate of successful extubation in children with at least 3 of the five criteria presentDay 1

The 5 criteria (facial grimace, eye opening, conjugate gaze, purposeful movement, and tidal volume \> 5 cc/kg)

Rate of participants with an extubation requiring interventionDay 1

The quality of extubation will be graded as successful, intervention required or major intervention required

Rate of participants with an extubation requiring major interventionDay 1

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of on time and anticipated discharge from the hospitalUp to 5 days after discharge
Rate of patients seeking additional care following discharge for respiratory related symptomsUp to 5 days after discharge
Preoperative room air oxygen saturationDay 1
Rate of extubation success per the number of factors present at time of extubationDay 1

Rate of success at the presence of 3 to 6 predictors (eye opening, facial grimace, purposeful movement, conjugate gaze, tidal volume \> 5 cc/kg, and ETCO2\<56 mmHg) at time of extubation
