New techn

ologies have al-

lowed patients with

heart

failure to live longe

r after

diagnosis. These life

-prolonging

technologies may e

ventually become

incongruent with a

patient’s goals

and preferences at

the end of life.

1,2

An implantable car

dioverter defibril-

lator (ICD) is one te

chnology that

may conflict with th

ese goals and

preferences. At the

end of life, ICD

therapy can becom

e burdensome

for both the patien

t and the patient’s

family by causing p

ain and anxiety

and preventing a su

dden death.3-

6

Patients have the ri

ght to be

informed of all opt

ions that might

decrease pain and su

ffering at the

end of life, includin

g the option to

deactivate ICD ther

apy. Critical care

nurses often provid

e care for patients

with heart failure a

t the end of life

and play an import

ant role in assess-

ing patients’ goals a

nd preferences.

Deactivation of an

ICD is ethically

acceptable and sho

uld be discussed

with all patients wh

en goals and

preferences are like

ly to change. This

literature review ex

plores the issues

surrounding ICD th

erapy at the end

of life; based on this

author’s find-

ings, recommendat

ions for discussing

and implementing d

evice deactiva-

tion are provided.

ICD ThERApY IN

END-STAgE

hEART FAILuRE

An ICD reduces th

e risk of death

from potentially let

hal arrhythmias.

In patients with h

eart failure, ICD

implantation is oft

en recommended

for individuals wit

h a reduced ejec-

tion fraction and a

life expectancy

greater than 1 year

.7 Unfortunately,

providing an accur

ate prognosis in

heart failure is diffi

cult. Prognosti-

cation tools predict

life expectancy

in populations of p

atients, but can-

not accurately pred

ict how long an

individual patient

will live.3 Heart

failure has a chang

eable course,

characterized by a

cute exacerba-

tions followed by p

eriods of rela-

tive stability.

1,3,6,8-13 It has be

en

estimated that betw

een 300,000 to

600,000 individua

ls in the United

States have end-st

age refractory

heart failure.

6

The first ICDs beca

me available

in the 1980s,

14 and the prevalence

of these devices con

tinues to in-

crease,15 with mo

st implanted in pa-

tients more than 6

5 years of age.

16

These devices may

prolong life in

some stages of hear

t failure, but giv-

en the increased p

revalence of these

devices at the end o

f life, it is crucial

that health care pro

fessionals discuss

device managemen

t when the goals

of care change. Pat

ients may not

desire prolongation

of life as heart

failure advances an

d are not always

aware of their prog

ression into

end-stage disease. T

he difficulty in

prognostication an

d the changeable

course of heart fail

ure contribute

to uncertainty abo

ut how close the

patient is to death

for both health

care professionals a

nd patients.11

This uncertainty m

ay delay end-of-

life discussions and

place patients at

risk for increased p

ain and anxiety

in the final hours o

f life because of

ICD shocks. Publis

hed reports sug-

gest that 21% to 2

7% of patients

receive a shock in

the last 30 days of

their life14,17 and that

these shocks

were distressing w

hen witnessed by

the patient’s family

.17 In a Swedish

study18 of 130 IC

D devices explant-

ed postmortem, 31

% of patients

with active ICDs ex

perienced a

shock in the last 2

4 hours of life.

Approximately half

of the patients

with a do-not-resu

scitate (DNR)

order still had activ

e shock therapy

at 1 hour before de

ath, and 24% of

these patients rece

ived shocks in the

last hour of life.

18 In cases where

the device was disc

harged, 55% of

patients received a

t least 3 shocks,

and 32% received

more than 10

shocks.18 Two-thir

ds of these shocks

were not documen

ted in the medi-

cal records and ma

y not have been

noticed by family o

r nursing staff;

however, 19% did

have a nota-

tion of pain or stres

s accompanying

the shocks.18 These

statistics are in

stark contrast to th

e estimated 14%

of patients who rec

eive a shock in

the first year after i

mplantation.

19

Patients are more l

ikely to receive

shocks at the end o

f life if their ICD

has fired previousl

y, but predicting

which patients wil

l receive a shock

at the end of life is i

mpossible.2

Children are at in

creased risk

for inadequate pain manage-

ment, with age-related fac-

tors typically determining pain m

an-

agement regimens.1 The challen

ge

in pain management can include,

but is not limited to, insufficient

knowledge of pediatric pain and

pain pathway development, unce

r-

tainty about appropriate dosages

of

analgesics in children, and difficu

lty

assessing both pain and adequac

y

of analgesia in children, as well

as

adults.2,3 Currently, few p

ublished

reports describe investigation of

pain

management strategies to impro

ve

pain-related outcomes in childre

n

and adults following cardiothorac

ic

surgery. The purpose of this stud

y

was to further clarify these existi

ng

knowledge gaps by discussing th

e

use of patient-controlled analgesi

a

(PCA) for the management of pa

in

in poststernotomy cardiac patient

s

10 years of age through adulthoo

d

in an intensive care unit (ICU) at

a medical university and teaching

hospital in a southeastern city of

the

United States.

According to data collected by

Naguib and colleagues,

4 PCA is

more effective than traditional

intravenous as-needed dosing

regimens in both older children

and adults. Researchers deter-

mined that if acute postopera-

tive pain is not well managed, a

patient is at risk of forming a “p

ain

memory” along with experienc

-

ing chronic pain, both of which

have long-term physical, psych

o-

logical, social, and developmen

tal

consequences.2 The smaller, mo

re

frequent dosing regimen of PCA

leads to fewer adverse effects an

d

greater consistency in pain con

-

trol.4 Staff education is integral

to

the implementation of such a p

ro-

tocol for minimizing patient saf

ety

concerns and optimizing patient

outcomes. Therefore, with appr

o-

priate preoperative teaching an

d

encouragement as well as posto

p-

erative application, PCA can be

an

effective means of postoperativ

e

pain relief in the pediatric card

iac

ICU (PCICU) for patients 10 ye

ars

of age through adulthood.

A general assessment of cur-

rent practice shows many optio

ns

Learning Objectives

At the end of this learning activity, t

he participant will be able to:

1. Identify potential barriers to post

operative pain management in patie

nts 10

years of age through adulthood.

2. Compare the use of as-needed pa

in medication for postoperative pain

to the

use of patient-controlled analgesia.

3. Evaluate the importance of accura

te reporting and documenting of pa

in

scores.

Background High rates of uncontrolle

d pain in critically ill patients remain

common. Patient-controlled analgesia

is more effective than traditional

intravenous as-needed dosing regime

ns for managing postoperative pain

in older children and adults.

Objective To determine whether pain-r

elated clinical outcomes in patients

from age 10 years to adult following c

ardiac surgery are improved by using

patient-controlled analgesia as a pain

management strategy.

Methods Using the plan-do-study-act

method of quality improvement, a

process was instituted to have both st

aff and patients’ families support the

use of patient-controlled analgesia po

stoperatively as opposed to tradi-

tional pain control with as-needed an

algesics. Use of as-needed medica-

tions and pain scores were retrospecti

vely compared from before to after

initiation of patient-controlled analge

sia.

Results The cumulative mean pain sco

re from the time of extubation

through the following 24 hours decre

ased from 4.14 (on a scale from 0 to

10) when strictly as-needed medicatio

ns were used to 2.8 with patient-

controlled analgesia. Further, the mea

n amount of opioid consumed

decreased from 14.98 mg of morphin

e and 22.27 mg of oxycodone to

13.58 mg of morphine and 3.33 mg of

oxycodone after implementation of

patient-controlled analgesia.

Conclusions Standardized use of patien

t-controlled analgesia for postop-

erative pain management in patients 1

0 years of age through adulthood is

efficient and effective, as evidenced by

less medication being consumed by

patients and lower mean pain scores. (

40 years of experience as a bedside

nurse in critical care, nurse man-

ager, educator and researcher.

Businessman and entrepreneur

Vinh Giang will then take the stage

for a magical keynote about opening

our minds. Giang will lead us on an

unforgettable voyage of new pos-

sibilities through the use of dynamic

storytelling, reflections on the world

of business, remarkable insights into

human psychology, and the wonder-

ful and wondrous art of magic.

The magic will continue when

Hospital. She is featured on TLC’s

docudrama “The Little Couple” and

has appeared on numerous televi-

sion programs, including “Oprah,”

“The Today Show,” “Good Morning

America” and “Dr. Oz.”

The unveiling of the new theme

for the coming year is a

magical moment, and

AACN President-elect

Christine Schulman

will share that magic

with us during her

speech Wednesday

morning. Schulman

is a critical care and

trauma clinical nurse specialist at

Legacy Health in Portland, Oregon.

She will be followed onstage by

graffiti artist, best-selling author,

entrepreneur and philanthropist Erik

Wahl, who will explore innovative

thinking and superior performance

during his keynote. Wahl certainly

knows what he’s talking about: Forbes

magazine calls his book “UNTHINK” a

blueprint for “actionable creativity.”

So plan to attend each magical

moment and all the actionable cre-

ativity at this year’s SuperSessions!

A decade of research and the experience of thousands of nurses all add up to one thing—Healthy Work Environments matter. Have the conversation at your workplace, and share the no-cost AACN Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool. It matters.
