Introduction
• The Pasero Opioid‐Induced Sedation scale
(POSS) is a valid and reliable tool that is used
to assess sedation during opioid pain management.
• Although the POSS has been used in Pediatric patients at some hospitals it has never been formally evaluated in the pediatric population.
Pasero Opioid-Induced Sedation Scale (POSS)
Purpose
• This study was designed to compare the use
of the POSS during opioid administration
before and after implementation of
a standardized POSS protocol in pediatric patients.
• In addition, a self reporting survey of the pediatric nurses caring for the subjects was used to determine ease of use andappropriateness.
3
Background
• Pediatric patients can be especially vulnerable to respiratory depression during the administration of opioids for analgesic purposes, thus these patients require close monitoring.
Background
• A tool such as the POSS, can be used to:• Assess sedation
• Identify progressing sedation early
• Improve communication
• Recognition of trends
• Confidence in treatment
METHOD
• IRB approval was obtained
• Consent obtained:
– Intervention cohort
– Nursing surveys
• Control cohort did not require consent
4
METHOD: Literature Search
• Databases used:
– CINHAL, Pub Med, Google Scholar, Joanna Briggs
• Key words:
– opioids, analgesic sedation, Pasero, POSS
• From these databases:
– 14 articles were retained and used
METHOD: Setting
• Setting

METHOD: Sample
Pediatric Control Cohort:

about the Pasero Opioid-Induced
Sedation Scale prior to research being
started.
• Team informed pediatric RN’s of the research being conducted.

• Nursing survey was completed by pediatric RN’s if interested inparticipating in study
7
METHOD: Data Points
• Data points for both intervention and
control cohort:• gender, age, opioid dose, pain score,
• held dose, decrease/increase dose
• level of alertness
• respiratory rate– prior to dose
– after each dose
• Additional data for the intervention cohort includedPOSS score
METHOD: Pediatric Intervention Cohort
• Daily monitoring of census
• Potential participants screened
• Consent was then obtained from parent/legal guardian
METHOD: Pediatric Intervention Cohort
• Participant number assigned– Sequential order
– Separate master list– Secure spreadsheet on PI computer only
• Data collection initiated– Given to PI for transcribing to secure spreadsheet
– Collected until:• targeted number of opioid doses reached
• or 11 months of data collection
8
METHOD: Pediatric Control Cohort
• Medical records department sent PI data
from past pediatric patients that fit
inclusion criteria
• Restricted range of time for data collection:– 01/01/2013 to 12/31/2013
• Data obtained from medical record– given to the PI for transcription and secure storage
METHOD: Inclusion Criteria
• Intervention cohort:– Current pediatric patients receiving
opioids for analgesic purposes
– Diagnosis of at least one of the following:appendectomy HSV
migraine appendicitis
Fracture herpangina
hand foot and mouth disease
METHOD: Inclusion Criteria
• Control cohort:– Former pediatric patients receiving opioids for analgesic
purposes
– Admitted from 01/01/2013 through 12/31/2013
– With at least one diagnosis that met criteria
9
METHOD: Exclusion Criteria
• Intervention and control cohort:– Diagnosis of respiratory distress
– Head injuries
• Additional control cohort exclusion:– Any patient in which POSS score was already documented
METHOD: Nursing Survey
• Evaluate the appropriateness an ease of use
• Consisted of 10 questions related to POSS

Survey Responses Questions 3&4

Using the POSS to score pediatric patient sedation levels was easy.
I feel confident I have scored the pediatric patient’s sedation level correctly when using the

DISCUSSION
General consensus
from RN’s survey was
that the POSS:
‐ was easy to use
‐ appropriate for pediatric patients
18
DISCUSSION
Data extracted from the medical records
for the control cohorts revealed that prior
to POSS, RNs annotated vague word descriptors
to document alertness or sedation such as:
crying,
resting,
awake, drowsy,
sleeping, watching TV and
resting with eyes closed.
POSS
Discussion
There was an improvement in documentation
with the use of the POSS
• RNs were able to standardize the assessment of patients receiving opioids for analgesic purposes through the use ofthe POSS
• Using a scale like the POSS has standardized description andactions for each level of sedation
19
Discussion
POSS
isReliable
Valid Tool
In the Pediatric Population
over one year of age
Discussion
RNs confidence level
improved
with the use of the POSS
Discussion
Improving RN communication
regarding sedation
ultimately
improves patient safety
20
LIMITATIONS
• A relatively small sample size
• The sample was convenient and not randomized
• There were more opioid administrations in older subjects inthe intervention group than the control group
LIMITATIONS
It was not a blind study therefore the potential for bias existed as the staff knew the data was being collected
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE AND RESEARCH
• Follow up plans to improve compliance with assessment anddocumentation of the POSS need to be implemented
• Nurses should be surveyed again to compare currentperceptions with original survey perceptions
21
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE AND RESEARCH
• Tool for:– Improved communication with parents
– patient and family education (safe pain control)
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE AND RESEARCH
• The study should be replicated
– using a randomized control design
– in a larger sample of pediatric patients
• As this study did not include any participants under 1 year ofage, additional study of the use of POSS in infants younger than 1 year is also warranted
CONCLUSION
• The tool gives standardized information regarding how awake or sedated a pediatric patient is prior to and after administering an opioid
• This will optimize safe and effective analgesia to pediatric patients
22
Conclusion
• The POSS will also provide consistent language that facilitatescommunication about sedation among the healthcare providers
• The POSS is a reliable tool for opioid sedation assessment inpediatric patients between ages 1‐17 years old.
Research to Practice
• This research project was an opportunity to take what began as a question posed by the pediatric practice council, throughthe research process, and into practice at the bedside.
