About this study

Official title: The Impact of a Dedicated Sedation Team on the Incidence of Complications in Paediatric Procedural Analgosedation

At a tertiary care university hospital a specialized interdisciplinary team of paediatric anaesthesiologists and paediatric intensivists was established for providing analgosedation for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The aim of the present study was to analyse the incidence and risk factors of adverse events during procedural sedation performed by the Children's Analgosedation Team (CAST).

Read the detailed description

At a tertiary care university hospital a dedicated Children's Analgosedation Team (CAST) performs all procedural sedations in children outside the operating room. Often patient age, comorbidities and procedures involving the airway are considered risk factors for adverse events, but previous studies investigating adverse events did not involve implementation of a specialised sedation team. Medical records of all children receiving procedural sedation by the CAST were reviewed for the incidence of adverse events. A bivariate analysis as well as an analysis of variance using type II Wald chi-square tests were conducted for identifying potential risk factors for adverse Events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of adverse events

    Respiratory, hemodynamic, and other adverse events

    Measured: From the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug) until the end of sedation (patient regained consciousness), assessed up to 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Incidence of serious adverse events

    Aspiration, vomiting/regurgitation, desaturation < 90% for > 30sec, hypotension < 50% of baseline, laryngospasm, thorax rigidity, unplanned admission to Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), cardiac arrest, and death

    Measured: From the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug) until the end of sedation (patient regained consciousness), assessed up to 6 hours

  2. Age

    Patient age in month

    Measured: At the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug)

  3. Sex

    Male or female

    Measured: At the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug)

  4. American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) status

    ASA physical status I / II / III / IV

    Measured: At the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug)

  5. Date of sedation

    Date as YEAR/MONTH/DAY

    Measured: At the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug)

  6. Category of the primary diagnosis

    Diagnosis that prompted the need for the procedure, categorized according to the subspecialty (hematology/oncology, nephrology, hepatology, gastroenterology, metabolic medicine, neurology, pulmonology, cardiology)

    Measured: At the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug)

  7. Type and dose of sedative

    Propofol or Midazolam in mg kg-1

    Measured: From the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug) until the end of sedation (patient regained consciousness), assessed up to 6 hours

  8. Type and dose of analgesic

    Esketamine in mg kg-1 or remifentanil in µg kg-1 min-1

    Measured: From the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug) until the end of sedation (patient regained consciousness), assessed up to 6 hours

  9. Upper respiratory tract infection (URI)

    Signs of runny nose and/or cough

    Measured: At the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sedation Complication, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 18 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Incidence of adverse events (time frame: From the beginning of sedation (administration of 1. sedation drug) until the end of sedation (patient regained consciousness), assessed up to 6 hours). 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 18 Feb 2021.
