Sedation and Analgesia for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures Michael S. Mazurek, M.D. Associate Professor of Clinical Anesthesia Riley Hospital for Children
Overview • Goals of Sedation • Definitions of Levels of Sedation • Risks and Complications • Clarian Sedation Guidelines by Case Examples • Specific Drugs
Goals of Sedation • Guard the patient’s safety • Minimize pain • Provide anxiolysis • Control behavior • Return the patient to a state in which safe discharge is possible
Risks and Complications • AIRWAY, AIRWAY, AIRWAY • airway obstruction • hypoventilation • apnea • aspiration • Hemodynamic impairment
Risks and Complications • Numerous case reports exist describing complications from sedation and analgesia • Few large series exist involving a numerator (adverse events) and a denominator (total number of sedations)
Adverse Sedation Events in Pediatrics: A Critical Incident Analysis of Contributing Factors Pediatrics 2000; 105: 805-814 • 4 physicians reviewed adverse sedation events for probable causes • 95 events were reviewed
Safety Conclusions • Respiratory events are the most frequent initiating events • All areas using sedation have reported adverse events Pediatrics 2000; 105: 805-814
Safety Conclusions • Adverse events involved: • Multiple drugs • Drug overdose • Inadequate medical evaluation • Inadequate monitoring • Inadequate practitioner skills Pediatrics 2000; 105: 805-814
Medication Conclusions • Adverse outcome was associated with all routes of drug adminstration • Adverse outcome was associated with all classes of medication, even when given within the recommended dose range • Drugs should not be given at home • Avoid premature discharge Pediatrics 2000; 106: 633-644
Reappraisal of Lytic Cocktail/Demerol, Phenergan, and Thorazine (DPT) for the Sedation of Children Pediatrics 1995; 95: 598-602 “ The DPT cocktail remains a widely used sedative and analgesic for pediatric patients. Neither the combination itself nor its dosage is based on sound pharmacologic data. There is a high rate of therapeutic failure as well as a high rate of serious adverse reactions, including respiratory depression and death, associated with its use.”
Clarian Sedation Guidelines • http://clarianweb.clarian.com/ • Moderate Sedation Guidelines • Deep Sedation Guidelines
1 year old sedation for an MRI • What equipment do you need available before you sedate this patient?
Equipment • Oxygen supply • Airway equipment of appropriate size • Suction apparatus of appropriate size • Age appropriate emergency cart • Physiological monitoring equipment
1 year old sedation for an MRI • Do you need a consent for sedation? • Is the MRI consent enough?
1 year old sedation for MRI • What is important for your presedation history?
Presedation Medical Evaluation • History of sedation/anesthesia problems • Airway problems (obstructive sleep apnea) • Respiratory symptoms • Current medications; drug allergies • Review of systems • NPO status
1 year old sedation for MRI • Would you sedate the child if they had formula 2 hours ago? • What are appropriate NPO guidelines? • Clear liquids? • Breast milk? • Formula? • Big Mac?
1 year old sedation for MRI • What physical evaluation are you going to perform before the sedation?
Preoperative Evaluation of the Upper Airway • Tongue versus pharyngeal size • Atlanto-occipital joint extension • Anterior mandibular space (thyromental distance • Dental examination
Risk Classification • Low – Relatively healthy patient. • Moderate – Patient with a significant pathologic process that is difficult to control. • High – Patient with a severe pathologic process that has produced potentially irreversible end-organ damage.
Patients at Increased Risk • Prior adverse response to sedation • Airway problems: OSA, difficult intubation, or syndrome with airway abnormalities • Significant respiratory symptoms • High risk classification • Delayed gastric emptying or aspiration risk
1 year old sedation for MRI • How are you going to monitor the patient?
Monitoring • Patient response as a guide to level of sedation • Children may be an exception • Continuous pulse oximetry • Ventilation • Observation, auscultation, or ETCO2 • ECG and BP for all patients under deep sedation and when indicated for moderate sedation
Ventilation • Pulse oximeter is not a ventilation monitor • Impedence Pneumography does not monitor ventilation • Observation and auscultation for the uncovered patient • ETCO2 for the covered patient
Manpower • Minimum of two persons: • One to perform the procedure • Another to monitor the patient • The monitoring person may assist with short, interruptible tasks during moderate sedation • The monitoring person may have no other duties during deep sedation
Documentation • Clarian Sedation Flowsheet • Medicines • Dosages, times, and routes • Vital signs every 5 minutes • Minimum SaO2 and RR • BP and HR if indicated
Post - Sedation • Observe in quiet environment for resedation • Impaired patients should be back to presedation status • Normal patients should be fully awake
Post - Sedation • Observe for minimum 1 hour if reversal agent given • Physician must perform a post-procedure evaluation • Adverse outcomes documented on flowsheet: • Conversion to GA, emergency intervention, respiratory complications, death
1 year old for sedation for MRI • How are you going to sedate this kid?
3 year old for sedation for head laceration in the ER • How are you going to sedate this kid?
10 year old for bone marrow aspirate • How are you going to sedate this kid?
8 year old for abdominal CT • How are you going to sedate?
Specific Drugs • Study the pharmacology of the drugs you plan on using • Become an expert on a few, appropriate drugs • Start with small doses and titrate to effect • When combining drugs, decrease the dose of each component
Specific Drugs • Sufficient time should elapse before redosing • Tailor your drugs to need – if you don’t need analgesia, don’t give a narcotic
Other Considerations • Consult a specialist for high risk patients • Maintain your airway skills
Specific Drugs • Local Anesthetics • Chloral hydrate • Midazolam, Flumazenil • Fentanyl, Morphine, Naloxone • Propofol • Ketamine
Local Anesthetics • Use for analgesia • Greatly reduces need for systemic narcotics • EMLA (lidocaine 2.5%, prilocaine 2.5%) • Need 45 – 60 minutes for efficacy • Epinephrine 1:200,000 (5 mcg/cc) • Prolongs duration of block • Decreases bleeding • Slows systemic uptake
Chloral Hydrate • Oral/Rectal dose: 25-100 mg/kg, max 100mg/kg or 2gm • Onset: 15 – 30 minutes • Peak effect: 30 – 60 minutes • Duration of action: variable – may persist for 10 – 20 hours in neonates and toddlers
Midazolam • Benzodiazepine • Sedative with no analgesia • Oral dose: 0.25 – 0.75 mg/kg, max 15 mg • Pediatric IV dose: 25 – 50 mcg/kg every 5 minutes, max dose 0.4 mg/kg • Adult IV dose: 1-2 mg every 5 minutes, max 10mg • Onset: oral 10 – 30 minutes • IV 3 – 5 minutes • Duration of action: oral 60 minutes • IV 20 – 60 minutes
Flumazenil • Benzodiazepine antagonist for benzodiazepine overdose • IV dose: 0.01 mg/kg every 1 minute, no more than 0.2 mg per dose, max dose 1 mg • Onset: 1 – 3 minutes • Duration of action: < 1 hour
