Brief Summary

This research is a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial involving mechanically ventilated children in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia. Subjects were divided into two groups: intervention vs control group. Primary and secondary outcomes will be measure pre, during, and post treatment.

Detailed Description

As of today, there is no sedation and ventilator weaning protocol in our PICU. Decision for sedation and ventilator weaning were based on attending physicians clinical judgement, which greatly varies among individual. Previous study on the use of these protocols showed a favorable outcome. We aim to assess the safety and effectiveness of this protocol in our PICU.

Subjects were recruited consecutively and randomized into intervention and control group.

* Intervention group: sedation and ventilator weaning protocol

* Control group: no protocol

Primary outcomes:

* FLACC score

* COMFORT score

* Ventilator days

Secondary outcomes:

* Self extubation

* Reintubation

* PICU Length of stay

* Frequency of asynchrony

* NIRS value

* VIS score

Sedation and Ventilator Weaning ProtocolSedation and ventilator weaning protocolSedation: start midazolam 5-10 mins (max 3x). If MV 12 hrs-2d: Pain: morphine @2 hrs if needed (max 10mg/x). Sedation: midazolam @ 1-2 hrs if needed (max 10mg/x). If MV \>2 d: morphine \& midazolam drip (max 10mg/hr). MV weaning checklist @morning. Pass if no incr of sedation dose due to agitation, NMBAs, incr in ICP. Fail: reassessed tomorrow. Pain and SBS scores assessed @morning until extubation. Stop all sedation and analgetic for sedation. Continue analgetics for pain. Subjects monitored for 4 hrs. Assess pain and WAT-1 score. Pass (GCS of E3, tolerate sedation interruption for \> 4 hrs): MV weaning protocol. Fail (Persistent anxiety/agitation, incr pain score, incr RR \> 5 mins, SpO2 \<88% \>5 mins, acute heart dysrhythmia, \>=2 signs of ARDS): sedation resumed ½ dose, up titrated. MV weaning: CPAP 5/PS \< 7. Pass: No failure criteria for 2 hrs. Fail (Incr RR \> 5 mins, SpO2 \<88% \> 5 mins, acute decr in GCS/acute heart dysrhythmia, \>=2 signs of ARDS): previous MV setting.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score extubation dayThis score will be taken when the subject was stopped from all sedative and analgetics, just before extubation. Monitoring of extubation will be conducted until 56 days after initial intubation.

Pain scoring. Each characteristic has 0-2 points with maximum 10 points. The greater number indicate greater pain score.

Ventilator timeFrom intubation to extubation which would not need reintubation within 48 hours of extubation, measurement of the time frame may be assessed up to 28 days measured from intubation time.

Time to extubation (days)

Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score hour 6FLACC scoring of hour 6 will be measured 6 hours after hour 0 was measured. Hour 6 is measured from the time the subject was intubated.

Pain scoring. Each characteristic has 0-2 points with maximum 10 points. The greater number indicate greater pain score.

COMFORT score day 1 until extubationScoring will be assessed every morning. If the subject was intubated at night, scoring for day 1 will be measured in the morning the day after tomorrow. Thereafter, the measurement will be taken every morning, 24 hour apart until the subject extubation.

Sedation scoring. It consists of 8 components. Each component has a score of 1-5, max score 40. Scores of 8 - 17 are over-sedated, scores between 17 - 26 are adequately sedated, and scores between 27 - 40 are under-sedated

Thereafter, the measurement will be taken every morning, 24 hour apart until the subject extubation.

Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score hour 0every 6 hours for the first 24 hours, once daily until extubation. This is the baseline. Once the patient was intubated, FLACC scoring of hour 0 will be assessed and noted.

Pain scoring. Each characteristic has 0-2 points with maximum 10 points. The greater number indicate greater pain score.

NameTimeMethod
Near infrared spectroscopy minute 5The scoring will be noted during minute-5 after sedatives/analgetic administration following intubation.

Value of Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during minute 5 after administration of sedatives or analgetic. NIRS values of less than 40% for 10 minutes or a 20% decrease from baseline indicated anaerobic metabolism and ischemic brain injury.

Near infrared spectroscopy hour-6The scoring will be noted during hour-6 after sedatives/analgetic administration following intubation.

Value of Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during minute 5 after administration of sedatives or analgetic. NIRS values of less than 40% for 10 minutes or a 20% decrease from baseline indicated anaerobic metabolism and ischemic brain injury.

Near infrared spectroscopy hour-12The scoring will be noted during hour-12 after sedatives/analgetic administration following intubation.

Value of Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during minute 5 after administration of sedatives or analgetic. NIRS values of less than 40% for 10 minutes or a 20% decrease from baseline indicated anaerobic metabolism and ischemic brain injury.

Inotropic interventionThe inotropic intervention will be noted throughout PICU admission up to 14 days of mechanical ventilation days.

All inotropes used will be noted as secondary outcome to identify the hypotensive and/or bradycardia complications that might be caused due to usage of sedatives and analgesia. The usage will be divided into two categories: Yes and No usage of inotrope

Reintubation frequencyFrequency of subject who are extubated to be reintubated within 48 hours after extubation. Assessment will be noted up to 28 days measured from the first time intubation was performed.

Number of times subject was reintubated within 48 hours after extubation

Self extubation frequencyFrequency of self extubation by the patient during one episode of intubation. Assessment will be noted up to 28 days measured from the first time intubation was performed.

Number of times subject was self extubated during one episode of intubation

PICU length of stayLength of stay in PICU from admission until patient's death or step-down to the pediatric ward. Assessment of PICU length of stay will be noted up to 56 days measured from the first day of PICU admission as day 1.

Days from PICU admission to death or move outside the PICU to the ward

Near infrared spectroscopy hour-1The scoring will be noted during hour-1 after sedatives/analgetic administration following intubation.

Value of Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during minute 5 after administration of sedatives or analgetic. NIRS values of less than 40% for 10 minutes or a 20% decrease from baseline indicated anaerobic metabolism and ischemic brain injury.

Vasoactive-Inotropic ScoreThe VIS score will be measured once during PICU admission up to 14 days of mechanical ventilation days.. The highest value will be recorded and categorized into two groups

The VIS were extracted from the formula: dopamine dose (μg/kg/minute) + dobutamine dose (μg/kg/minute) + 100 x epinephine dose (μg/kg/minute) + 10 x milrinone dose (μg/kg/minute) + 10,000 x vasopressine dose (unit/kg/minute) + 100 x norepinefrine dose (μg/kg/minute). The VIS score was categorized into two (≥20 dan \<20).
