Last Meal
Full stomach is a risk of aspiration during sedation!!!
NPO status Last solid intake > 6 to 8 hours Last opaque liquid/formula intake > 4 hours Last clear liquid/breastmilk intake > 2 hours
These guidelines do not apply for patients with GI disturbances
![Page 21: Anesthesia, Analgesia, Anxiolysis, Amnesia, And so on… Ivy Pointer, M.D Pediatric Critical Care Fellow UNC Department of Anesthesiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551c39235503467b488b471c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Last Meal
Full stomachs include the following… Any patient with material in their stomach
Food Medications Contrast Charcoal Blood
Any patient with delayed gastric emptying Morbid obesity Small bowel obstruction Pyloric stenosis GI dysmotility And so on…

Events leading to sedation…
Know why your patient needs sedation!!
Is it safe to sedate your patient?? What kind of sedation are you trying
to achieve?? Analgesia, anxiolysis, amnesia, or a
combination Anticipated duration of therapy
![Page 23: Anesthesia, Analgesia, Anxiolysis, Amnesia, And so on… Ivy Pointer, M.D Pediatric Critical Care Fellow UNC Department of Anesthesiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551c39235503467b488b471c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Choosing the Right Drug
There is no magic cocktail…all drugs have potential complications
Drugs to consider should fit your goals for sedation with minimum risk to the patient
Considerations when choosing a drug Route of administration Onset of action Duration of action Contraindications Therapeutic advantages

Case #1
An 8 year old known asthmatic is in the ED having received continuous albuterol nebs, steroids, and subcutaneous epinephrine. You check on him and find him unresponsive with a RR of 6 and very poor air movement. An RT runs in with a ABG showing pH 6.9, pCO2 190. What medications do you consider for intubation & sedation?
![Page 39: Anesthesia, Analgesia, Anxiolysis, Amnesia, And so on… Ivy Pointer, M.D Pediatric Critical Care Fellow UNC Department of Anesthesiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551c39235503467b488b471c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Case # 2
A transport team has just arrived to pick up a 4 year old child with severe stridor. On exam she is alert, sitting in Mom’s lap & maintaining her sats, but has severe retractions with every breath and drooling. She appears frightened, and the paramedic asks you to order something to sedate her so that she can be strapped to the gurney. What is your response?
![Page 40: Anesthesia, Analgesia, Anxiolysis, Amnesia, And so on… Ivy Pointer, M.D Pediatric Critical Care Fellow UNC Department of Anesthesiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551c39235503467b488b471c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Case # 3
You consult in the ED on a 7 year old who has presented with sore throat and noisy breathing. He has received 2 gm of chloral hydrate 1/2 hour before for an attempted CT scan of the neck. In the ED you find him in the back room with his mother, with a sat probe on his finger not attached to a monitor. He has retractions and poor air movement with every breath. What happened and what would you do?
![Page 41: Anesthesia, Analgesia, Anxiolysis, Amnesia, And so on… Ivy Pointer, M.D Pediatric Critical Care Fellow UNC Department of Anesthesiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551c39235503467b488b471c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Case # 4
You are taking care of a 9 mo post-op cardiac patient who is intubated and requiring sedation. She initially had issues with heart block and required pacing but is now in a sinus rhythm of 110. She has been difficult to sedate with Fentanyl & Midazolam and the nurses ask you if you can add a 3rd agent. What agents would you want to avoid in this patient and what do you need to consider?
![Page 42: Anesthesia, Analgesia, Anxiolysis, Amnesia, And so on… Ivy Pointer, M.D Pediatric Critical Care Fellow UNC Department of Anesthesiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551c39235503467b488b471c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Case # 5
You are called to the ED to see a 6 year old trauma patient who luckily has a normal head CT but unfortunately has a severely displaced tib-fib fracture. The orthopedic surgeons are gathering equipment to reduce and splint the fracture. What drugs do you think about using and what else do you consider?
![Page 43: Anesthesia, Analgesia, Anxiolysis, Amnesia, And so on… Ivy Pointer, M.D Pediatric Critical Care Fellow UNC Department of Anesthesiology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551c39235503467b488b471c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Preventative Medicine is Key!!
Optimize your patient prior to sedation Correct acidosis Keep euvolemic Know “AMPLE”
Anticipate difficulties and be prepared Bag, mask, oxygen, +/- airway box Suction Normal saline/Lactated Ringer’s Monitors – O2, CO2, CR monitor, BP
Titrate medications to effect…it is easier to give more drug than it is to remove it!!!

Summary
Many situations require sedation in the ICU Components of sedation include anesthesia,
analgesia, anxiolysis, & amnesia There are several levels of sedation Remember mnemonic “AMPLE” when evaluating a
patient for sedation Choosing the right drug involves knowing the
goals of sedation alongside drug profile for sedatives
Always anticipate possible complications & be prepared to deal with them
