Long-Term Inhalative Sedation in Children With Pulmonary Diseases

Abstract: Objectives: To describe safety and feasibility of long-term inhalative sedation (LTIS) in children with severe respiratory diseases compared to patients with normal lung function with respect to recent studies that showed beneficial effects in adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Design: Single-center retrospective study. Setting: 12-bed pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in a tertiary-care academic medical center in Germany. Patients: All patients treated in our PICU with LTIS usi… Show more

“…The use of these devices remains limited in paediatrics, with limited practice guidance on scavenging safety, given the specific needs of placing the device on the the ventilator inspiratory limb with need for higher infusion rate of volatile agents and active humidification. Our study adds to the growing body of literature 5,6 on the safety of using miniature vapourizing devices and inhalational volatile based sedation in critically ill paediatric patients. An ongoing paediatric pilot, clinical trial (NCT04684238 and NCT05867472), will further increase our understanding of the feasibility and safety of using inhalational volatile gases for sedation in critically ill paediatric patients.…”

“…21,22 Historically, the most common indication for the use of volatile gases in paediatric critical care has been to treat bronchospasm in children with severe status asthmaticus that is refractory to conventional therapies. [22][23][24] It has also been utilized in children who are challenging to sedate 5,6 and as a treatment for refractory status epilepticus. 25 While the use of volatile agents in paediatrics has existed for many years, the widespread adoption or availability of this therapy in the critical care environment has been limited by equipment and trained operators.…”
