About this study

Official title: Implementation and Evaluation of a Paediatric Nurse-driven Sedation Protocol in a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit

Management of analgesia and sedation is an integral component of the medical care of a critically-ill child. Its role is to assure comfort and safety to a patient undergoing painful cares and technical procedures; it can also be, in particular situations like acute respiratory distress syndrome or acute brain injury, a full processing treatment.

Sedation involves, most of the time, the association of an opioid and a sedative. The use of these drugs is difficult in children, because of a specific metabolism, inducing tolerance and withdrawal in case of prolonged administration.

The COMFORT-BEHAVIOR (COMFORT-B) scale is a validated, simple, reliable and reproducible score evaluating sedation and analgesia. Sedation scoring systems must be used regularly to avoid inadequate sedation.

Excessive sedation is associated with poor outcomes like prolonged mechanical ventilation, longer hospitalisation and more frequent withdrawal symptoms. Adult and paediatric data suggest that goal-directed sedation algorithms allow a more appropriate adaptation of the treatment to the patient's need and permit a reduction in the duration of mechanical ventilation.

The objective was to evaluate the impact of a nurse-driven sedation protocol in a paediatric intensive care unit on duration of mechanical ventilation, total doses and duration of medications, Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) length of stay, incidence of ventilator-associated-pneumonia and occurrence of withdrawal.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nurse-driven sedation protocolBehavioural

    The nurse-driven sedation protocol included the COMFORT-B scale. Initial doses were chosen by the physicians then all changes were made by the nurses with the aim of attaining an optimal range of analgesia and sedation, which was defined as values from 11 to 17 on the COMFORT-B score.

Study groups in NCT02829710
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
group 1 : pre implementation groupAll children aged less than 18 years, requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours and admitted in PICU between January 2013 and December 2013. Prior to implementation of the protocol, analgesia and sedation were managed by the attending physician's order.
group 2 : post implementation groupAll children aged less than 18 years, requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours and admitted in PICU between May 2014 and March 2015. Nurses managed analgesia and sedation following an algorithm, including COMFORT-B scale.
Receives: Behavioral: Nurse-driven sedation protocol

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Duration of mechanical ventilation (days)

    Measured: Over the PICU stay of each child (Day 5)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Total doses of sedatives (unit/kg)

    Measured: Over the PICU stay of each child (Day 5)

  2. Occurrence of withdrawal symptoms

    Measured: Over the PICU stay of each child (Day 5)

  3. Length of PICU stay (days)

    Measured: Over the PICU stay of each child (Day 5)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Analgesia and Deep Sedation, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of mechanical ventilation (days) (time frame: Over the PICU stay of each child (Day 5)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2016.
