- In recent years, the importance of appropriate intraoperative
anesthesia and analgesia during cardiac surgery has become
recognized as an important factor in postoperative recovery However
little attention has been focused on postoperative sedation and
analgesia in the pediatric ICU
- Slide 3
- Separation from parents Invasive procedures Disruption of usual
day-night cycle Unfamiliar people and machines Physiological causes
of agitation have to be excluded ; - Hypoxemia - Hypercapnia -
Cerebral hypoperfusion due to reduced COP
- Slide 4
- Inadequate analgesia and postsurgical stress response
metabolic, humoral, and hemodynamic response following injury or
surgery. Neuroendocrine cascade leads to increased oxygen
consumption, increased carbon dioxide production, generalized
catabolic state with a negative nitrogen balance. Recent studies
have concluded that inadequate pain control causes long term
dysregulation of nociceptive mechanisms which may change behavior
and responses to future pain stimuli.
- Slide 5
- Agent to be used Mode of administration Route of delivery
- Slide 6
- Rapid onset Predictable duration of activity Effects dissipate
rapidly when agent discontinued Easy to titrate by continuous
infusion Limited effects on cardiorespiratory function Effects and
duration not altered by renal or hepatic disease Wide therapeutic
index No interference with effect or metabolism by other drugs
- Slide 7
- Benzodiazepines Opioids Ketamine Propofol Chloral hydrate
Phenothiazines Barbiturates NSAID Acetaminophen -2 agonists Most
drugs can have deleterious effects on cardiorespiratory function
therefore close monitoring of patients cardiorespiratory status in
accordance with guidelines of the American Academy of
Pediatrics
- Slide 8
- Sedatives and analgesics should not be administered strictly on
a per Kg basis Dosage recommendations are meant as guidelines for
starting doses Actual amount administered should be titrated to
achieve the desired level of sedation or analgesia Significant
interpatient variability in infusion requirements
- Slide 9
- A broad term that facilitate several goals; Unconsciousness or
reduction in conscious level Reduced awareness Loss of explicit and
implicit memory Compliance with the need to lie attached to
monitors and invasive lines Prevention of distress

depression: the most significant adverse effect following sedative
drug administration a. Impaired airway control - the single most
serious adverse event b. Hypoventilation 3- Depth of sedation is a

- First line agents hypnosis NO analgesia action in the limbic
anxiolysis system via inhibitory GABA antegrade amnesia Abstinence
syndrome anticonvulsant effect after prolonged use May produce
hypotension with decrease in COP>20% in postcardiac surgical
patients Decreased central sympathetic output which may decrease
systemic vascular resistance
- Slide 17
- Slide 18
- Sedating, variable amnesia, anxiolytic Irritating to veins,
pain in injection(propylen glycol) Highly lipid soluble, rapid
onset Multiple active metabolites Advantage for prolonged sedation
Disadvantage for rapid arousal Not recommended for continuous
infusion Half-life 12-24 hrs Hepatic metabolism
- Slide 19
- Improved amnesia No active metabolites Half life 4-12 hours
Metabolized by glucuronyl transferase Less influence from other
drugs Better preserved in patients with liver disease
- Slide 20
- Rapid onset Rapid metabolism Good amnesia Water soluble, no
pain with injection Half life 2 -4 hours Hepatic metabolism with
renal excretion Active hydroxy-metabolite may accumulate Other
routes of administration Oral,Nasal,Rectal,Sublingual Reports of
dystonia and choreoathetosis post infusion, greater risk in
neonates Heparin decreases protein binding, increases free drug
Dosing ranging from 0.05-0.2 mg/kg/hr
- Slide 21
- RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION Less than narcotics, but potentiated
with narcotics Dose related Reversal Flumazenil - benzodiazepine
receptor antagonist Choreoathetoid movement disorder Tolerance
Dependence Withdrawal carefully and slowly if administered >
7-10 days Signs of withdrawal - tremor, tachycardia, hypertension,
Rapid withdrawal may promote seizures
- Slide 22
- First line analgesia sedation no amnesia delayed gastric
emptying decreased intestinal peristalsis urinary retention
Commonly used narcotics: Morphine Fentanyl Methadone

- ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION IV Oral Transmucosal Transdermal MODE
OF ADMINISTRATION Intermittent/on demand (as necessary) Fixed
interval Continuous infusion PCA
- Slide 25
- Intravenous bolus administration Common though antiquated PRN -
as needed Half-life of drug determines interval Disadvantage of
pain breakthrough
- Slide 26
- Slide 27
- Utilized when prolonged analgesia and sedation needed Better
analgesia, initial accurate bolus important Need for dedicated IV
site
- Slide 28
- Slide 29
- Patient controlled analgesia Allows patient to administer a
preset amount of narcotic at preselected intervals Improved
analgesia with decreased narcotic use Option to include low basal
rate Nurse controlled analgesia Eliminates delay Allows delivery
via a closed system

depresses rate over tidal volume histamine mediated hypotension esp
in hypovolemic Can block compensatory catecholamine effect
Prolonged clearance in neonates

ETT Abrupt reversal may result in nausea, vomiting, sweating,
tachycardia, increased BP, and tremors Pruritis Individual
variability and susceptibility, alleviated by Benadryl

- Tolerance Need for increase in dose to achieve the same effect
Generally develops after 2-3 days of frequent/continuous use
Greater with fentanyl Treated by increasing the dose as needed
DEPENDENCE Physiological state leading to abstinence syndrome on
withdrawal of the drug, rare Generally develops after 7-10 days of
sustained use Symptoms include: mydriasis, tachycardia, goose
bumps, muscle jerks, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, fever,
hypertension Treated with gradual withdrawal of the drug

to alpha blockade and extrapyramidal effects May be useful in the
difficult to sedate child

Anxiolysis Analgesia Reduces shivering Minimal respiratory
depression Known action Hyperpolarization of LC neurons 2
A-receptor subtype Reversible (atipamezole)
- Slide 52
- Sinus pause/arrest Orthostatic hypotension Dry mouth
Vasoconstriction
- Slide 53
- Slide 54
- Continuous intravenous infusions of morphine or fentanyl are
recommended for the relief of severe pain. Non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs or paracetamol may be used as adjuncts to
opioids in certain patients.
- Slide 55
- Pain assessment should be performed regularly by using a scale
appropriate to the age of the patient and routinely documented. The
level of sedation should be regularly assessed and documented using
a validated scoring system such as the COMFORT scale. Midazolam is
the recommended agent for the majority of critically ill children
requiring intravenous sedation and preferably by continuous
infusion. Clonidine given by continuous intravenous infusion may be
used as an alternative sedative agent to midazolam. Propofol should
not be used to provide continuous sedation in critically ill
children.
