NCT05969483

Brief Summary

The goal of this prospective observational study is to validate pEEG as a monitoring tool for the analgosedation level in mechanically-ventilated critically ill children, receiving or not-receiving NMBAs. The main question aims to answer is to measure the strength of agreement between pEEG score and Comfort Behavioural Scale (CBS) (goal standard). Participants will be monitored with pEEG and CBS evaluated during PICU admission. paralysis holiday) by a specialized PICU nurse and by a critical-care expert physician, blinded to each other.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • agreement between PSI (exposure) and CBS scale the CBS

    grade of agreement (Kappa of Cohen)

    T1 (after 4 hours of ventilation)

  • agreement between PSI (exposure) and CBS scale

    grade of agreement (Kappa of Cohen)

    T1 (after 8 hours of ventilation)

Study Arms (1)

sedated and ventilated pediatric critical care patients

All sedated and ventilated critically ill patients will be exposed to the Masimo Sedline® sensor. Its pEEG scores, including the PSI, will be registered by the patient primary nurse every 4 hours for the first 5 days of ventilation. At the same time, CBS will be evaluated by a specialized PICU nurse and by a critical-care expert physician, blinded to each other. In case of chemically paralyzed patients, a paralysis holiday will be performed when clinically possible . A CBS will be assessed when the paralytic agents will be considered washed out. The patient's analgosedation strategy and analgosedation protocol will not be standardized but will be decided by the treating physician based on the international recommendations.

Device: pEEG monitoring
