Filter by:This is a retrospective cohort study aiming to determine whether the use of Dexmedetomidine (DEX) to sedate children prior to MRI scanning is more or less effective in children with autism spectrum disorders or other neurodevelopmental disorders compared to other children.
To investigate the associations bewteen the sedation level and the airway adverse effects by using the EEG, Airmod breath sound monitor and the capnography.
Null hypothesis: There is no difference between the effects of nebulization of dexmedetomidine and midazolam as procedural sedation during cesarean delivery under spinal Anesthesia in pre-eclamptic parturients Alternative hypothesis: There is difference between the effects of nebulization of dexmedetomidine and midazolam as procedural sedation during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia in pre-eclamptic parturients
The purpose of this study is to determine if positive imagery therapy while using ketamine in procedural sedation reduces the number of emergence reactions and impacts pre and post-procedural anxiety.
There are different methods of anesthesia for CTR surgery. Procedural sedation will allow rapid recovery and fewer complications than regional or general anesthesia (GA). Attempts have been made in the past to use additives with propofol to reduce its dose. Ketofol (ketamine/propofol combination) was used for procedural sedation and analgesia. Ketamine and propofol administered in combination have offered effective sedation for spinal anesthesia and for gynecologic, ophthalmologic, and cardiovascular procedures in all age groups. The opposing hemodynamic and respiratory effects of each drug may enhance the utility of this drug combination, increasing both safety and efficacy and allowing reduction in the dose of propofol required to achieve sedation. Propofol alone had a significantly greater number of apnea with desaturation (SpO2 < 90%) episodes. Further, it has been shown that during colonoscopies, propofol in combination with fentanyl provided similar patient satisfaction with shorter recovery times even at lower depths of sedation as compared to propofol. The addition of fentanyl to propofol has been shown to result in better operator feasibility with no difference in recovery time, cognitive impairment, or complications as compared to the use of propofol only for sedation.
Ketamine and Midazolam are well known sedative drugs that can be given through different routes such as intravenous, intramuscular, oral, rectal and intranasal route. Anesthetic staff usually prefer intravenous route but sometimes inserting venous access is difficult in uncooperative mentally disabled children. Intranasal ketamine+Midazolam can be a needless effective alternative in these vulnerable patients
Children often need procedural sedation in the emergency department during painful procedures (such as reducing fractures). Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive experience using sight, sound, and position sense. Using VR may enhance distraction during the painful procedure and may reduce attention to pain. VR may also reduce anxiety during sedation induction by reducing providing an alternative stimulus. This study will randomize children (6 - 16 years old) to receive Virtual Reality or standard of care while undergoing procedural sedation. Investigators will measure heart rate, blood pressure, satisfaction (child, parent, provider), amount of sedatives used and compare between the two groups.
Abstract Background: Ketamine has been introduced as one of the most common drugs, administered to sedate children for different painful procedures in the emergency department (ED) but administration in higher dosage causes some severe complications. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-dose intravenous ketamine bolus versus conventional injection for reduction of upper and lower extremity fractures in children. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 198 participants with upper and lower extremity fractures were enrolled. The participants were divided randomly into two groups. In the intervention group, ketamine 1% was administered rapidly at a dose of 0.5 mg / kg (within 5 seconds), and in the control group, ketamine 1.5 mg / kg was slowly injected for 30 to 60 seconds. Then outcomes such as sedation depth and complications were measured for every two minutes and satisfaction of participants and physicians were recorded. Results: Results showed that the successful sedation rate in the low dose ketamine group was significantly lower, as compared to the control group (7% vs 100%) (p<0.001). Moreover, In terms of duration of drug effect and of recovery, the low dose ketamine group were significantly lower compared with the group receiving higher dosage of ketamine (p<0.05). Furthermore, the sedation depth based on Wisconsin Sedation Scale was significantly higher, in the low dose ketamine group compared to the other group. By evaluating different complications, we found that the rate of neurological (20.4 % vs 5%) and physiological (10.2% vs 2%) complications in the control group was significantly higher compared to the group receiving low-dose ketamine (p<0.05).
