  1. Controversies in Procedural Sedation and Induction in ER February 2004

  2. Controversies • REVIEW OF ANESTHESIA GUIDELINES • IS ETOMIDATE SAFE FOR ER INDUCTION? • IS PROPOFOL SAFE IN CHILDREN? • IS KETAMINE SAFE IN HEAD INJURED PATIENTS?

  3. ANESTHESIA GUIDELINES • PRACTICE GUIDELINES FOR SEDATION AND ANALGESIA BY NON-ANESTHESIOLOGISTS ANESTHESIOLGY 2002 • GUIDELINES FOR MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF PEDIATRIC PATIENTS DURING AND AFTER SEDATION –ADDENDUM PEDIATRICS 2002

  4. ANESTHESIA GUIDELINES • ASA 2002 • AAP 2002 • EVIDENCE BASED CONSENSUS OPINION TASK FORCE • CAEP 1999 • ACEP 1998

  5. PEDIATRIC ADDENDUM • DOCUMENTED PRESEDATION MEDICAL EVALUATION • APPROPRIATE FASTING INTERVAL • SKILLED PERSONNEL • PULSE OXIMETRY • ASSIGNED MONITORING INDIVIDUAL • SPECIFIC DISCHARGE CRITERIA

  6. ASA PRACTICE GUIDELINES • DEFINTION SEDATION DEPTH • PRE PROCEDURE ASSESSMENT • PRE PROCEDURE FASTING • MONITORING / CAPNOGRAPHY • ANCILLARY STAFF • MEDICATIONS • RECOVERY CARE/DISCHARGE CRITERIA

  7. LOCAL ANESTHESIA CONCERNS • GENERAL ANESTHESIA IN ER • POOR DOCUMENTATION • PRE PROCEDURE ASSESSMENT • POST PROCEDURE RECOVERY • DISCHARGE CRITERIA • EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

  8. DEPTH OF SEDATION

  9. Sedation Depth • Conscious Sedation removed • Dissociative Sedation not classified • All sedatives and narcotics can produce all levels of sedation ,some are more likely to induce deep or general anesthesia • Deep and general anesthesia are more likely to be associated with adverse reactions • Sedation depth difficult to measure

  10. PRE PROCEDURE EVALUATION • Guided RiskAssessment Tool HOFFMAN PEDS 02 • Snoring, Stridor Sleep apnea • Airway abnormalities • Vomiting, bowel obstruction • Gastroesophageal reflux • ASA class • Sedation Failure • NPO status

  11. PRE PROCEDURE FASTING REQUIREMENTS • ASA GUIDELINES • Liquids 2 hours • Breast milk 4 hours • Solids 6 hours • NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS CONSENSUS OPINION • TRACHEA and ESOPHAGEAL PROCEDURES NOT ROUTINE IN ER

  12. PRE PROCEDURAL FASTING • ASPIRATION RISK • NO Published aspiration in ER> 30 years • Risk of aspiration ~1/895 emergency surgery and ~1/3500 surgery • Two thirds aspiration during intubation • Increased incidence of sedation failures with prolonged fasting times

  13. FASTING LITERATURE • Pre procedural fasting adverse events ER Agarwal et al Annals of Emergency Medicine 2003 • Pediatrics prospective case series n=905 • Adverse events minor 8.1%* incidence in compliant and 6.9%* in noncompliant • Emesis 1.5% • Medications ketamine/midazolam fentanyl/midazolam

  14. FASTING LITERATURE • Median fasting duration solids 9.6 *hours vs 5.2 hours non compliant • Median fasting duration clear liquids 8.5 hours vs 4.7* hours non compliant • CONCLUSION There was no association between preprocedural fasting state and adverse events • ????? What?

  15. Preprocedural Fasting • ACEP recent food intake is not a contraindication for administering PSA but should be considered in choosing the depth and target level of sedation • CAEP Urgency of procedure and desired depth of sedation should be weighed against the risk associated with inadequate fasting • ASA potential for aspiration must be considered in determining target sedation level, or whether to delay or protect by intubation • ???

  16. MONITORING • Level of consciousness • Oxygenation • Hemodynamics • Ventilation* capnography

  17. Ventilation Capnography • ASA-- capnography may decrease risks during deep sedation • Capnography may decrease risks during moderate and deep sedation when patient physically separated from caregiver • Supplemental oxygen decreases patient risk during deep sedation

  18. Capnography • Measurement of endtidal CO2 infrared spectroscopy nasal cannulae • Not as accurate as in intubated patients • No evidence to suggest that it will reduce complications but may alert to subclinical respiratory depression • Respiratory depression- ETCO>50, increase >10 from baseline, absent waveforem

  19. Capnography Literature • 6 studies in ER literature • Propofol 19-48% resp depression on supplemental 02 • Ketamine 6% RD no O2 • Methohexital 48% RD on 02

  20. Capnography • MAYBE* • Deep sedation may require supplemental 02 • Propofol sedation often deep or general • Supplemental 02 may limit oximetry utility • GREEN AND KRAUSS* • Krauss paid consultant for capnography company • Green – “Propofol not ready for prime time 1999” • Green– Propofol ready for prime time 2003 – three* studies later

  21. Ancillary Staff • Trained individual other than the practitioner should be monitoring patient • CRHA monitored continuously during procedure by RN with or without RT • Airway • Oxygenation • Level of consciousness • Pain • General Status

  22. Ancillary Staff • CRHA - RN or LPN with or without RT monitor immediately post procedure and within 15 minutes the same parameters and vital signs

  23. Medications • Combination of sedative/analgesic increase risk of complications • Efficacy of sedative alone unknown* • Propofol/methohexital use consistent with deep or general anesthesia • Etomidate not described but deep and general anesthesia common • Ketamine difficult to classify

  24. Recovery Care Discharge Criteria • D/C when able? • ASA ---monitored until they are near baseline level of consciousness and are no longer at increased risk for cardiorespiratory depression • ACEP return to pre procedure baseline • CAEP Airway patency, ventilation,cvs and hydration satisfactory • Level of consciousness returned to baseline • Sit unassisted,* tolerate oral fluids

  25. Recovery Care / Discharge Criteria • Insufficient literature on topic • Based on post operative Aldrete* scoring system • Activity respiration circulation consciousness and skin color max 10 • MPADSS– modified post anaesthetic score • Vital signs ambulation nausea pain bleeding

  26. Recovery Care/Discharge Criteria • “Street Fitness” or home readiness is also poorly defined • ACEP --no activity that requires coordination for 24 hours • CAEP-- no coordination activity for 12 hours, no food or drink for two hours, observe child closely for 8 hours • Medication dependent/hospital dependent

  27. Recovery Care Literature • When is a Patient Safe for Discharge After Procedural Sedation ?Newman et al Annals of Emergency Medicine 2003 • Prospective data base 2 years 1341 sedations adverse events 13.7% • Ketamine/midazolam fentanyl/midazolam • Conclusions– discharge from ED may be safe ~30 minutes after final medication

  28. Recovery Care Literature • No discharge criteria in place • Follow up patients poor 64% • Serious adverse effects occurred median 2 minutes post final med but up to 40 minutes post med • Clearly cannot generalize data

  29. Guidelines/Anaesthesia? • Preprocedure assessment • Pre procedure preparation fasting • Monitoring people equipment • Drug selection- sedation depth • Post procedure care

  30. Is Etomidate Safe for ER Induction? • Unknown • Adrenal suppression—1983 increased mortality in ICU 40% with etomidate infusion cause infection postulated to be adrenal suppression • Multiple studies confirm adrenal suppression in infusions and single doses • Clinical implication unclear

  31. Etomidate literature Adrenocortical Dysfunction following Etomidate Induction in ER Schenarts et al Academic emergency medicine 2001 • Prospective randomized controlled n=18 • Etomidate vs midazolam RSI measuring cortisol response to CST testing 4-24 hours • Conclusions: etomidate in ED RSI results in adrenocortical dysfunction which appears to resolve in 12 hours

  32. Etomidate literature • Important study but serious flaws • Data collection errors methodology questionable • Reporting of data concerning • Of note: hours intubated 68.6 etomidate 28.4 midazolam ----hours in ICU 96.8 etomidate ,42 midazolam • Leaves question unanswered

  33. Etomidate Literature • NEAR study-- 60% intubations etomidate suggesting higher dose for success • Need another study to address impact of etomidate in ER on ICU outcome • Adrenal suppression increased mortality in adult ICU patients and increased vasopressor use in pediatric patients

  34. Etomidate Literature • PROCEDURAL SEDATION 6 studies 5 ER • Mainly retrospective small numbers • Myoclonus 2-20% • Vomiting 2-10% • Hypoxia 10%* • Hypotension 2-5% • Deep sedation was frequent when recorded

  35. IS PROPOFOL SAFE in CHILDREN? • Propofol infusion syndrome FDA health warning 2001* • CMAJ 2002 Wooltorton significant harm can come from off-label use of agents whose pediatric safety profile is incomplete* • Large dose propofol affects cerebral autoregulation --caution in head injured patients Anesth Analg 2003

  36. Safety of Propofol in Pediatric Procedural Sedation • 5 published ER studies* • Propofol hypoxia 5%-30%** • Hypotension 5%-30%** • Troubling Methodology • Supplemental oxygen • Blood pressure measurement skewed • Adverse events altered definition

  37. Propofol Literature • Propofol for Procedural Sedation in Children in the ER Basset et al Annals of ER 2003 • Consecutive case series n=392 • 92% transient hypotension • 5% hypoxia 3% jaw thrust 1%bvm • Conclusion: efficacious no adverse outcomes

  38. Propofol Literature • Preoxygenation 10L/min • Blood pressure change = post sedation blood pressure- minimum • ~80 patients had blood pressure drop of >20 six required iv fluids • ~80 patients dropped 02sat>5% after preoxygenation • Four member team

  39. Propofol literature • Propofol vs Ketamine in pediatric critical care Vardi et al Critical Care Medicine 2002 • Prospective randomized n=105 • Propofol vs Ketamine midazolam fentanyl • Propofol 2.5mg/kg vs Ketamine 2.5mg/kg/ midazolam 0.1mg/kg fentanyl 2ug/kg • SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE ADVERSE EFFECTS REQUIRING INTERVENTION WITH PROPOFOL

  40. Propofol Safety • Clearly there are safer drugs than propofol • Does a little hypoxia and or hypotension in a monitored setting give rise to concerns if the drug is efficacious and efficient? • Proceed with caution

  41. Is Ketamine Safe in Head Injured Patients? • MAYBE • Historically ketamine was used for neurodiagnostic sedations in hundreds of patients in 60’s and 70’s with no sequelae • 1972-1974 small case series with varying doses of ketamine and variable monitoring devices variable ICP demonstrate elevation in ICP mean~increase 30 no sequelae

  42. Ketamine Head Injury Case series during similar era, similar method and design demonstrate that intubation, inhalational anesthetics and succinylcholine lead to ~increase ICP 25 Clinical implications of brief rise in ICP in already elevated ICP was and still unclear

  43. Ketamine Head Injury • 1974-2003 small prospective randomized studies done with intravenous ketamine for sedation on ventilated head injured patients • No change or significant improvement in ICP • No change in cerebral perfusion pressure • Decrease in cerebral blood flow velocity • Decrease in EEG power • Maintains cerebral autoregulation

  44. Ketamine Head Injury • Ketamine effects on cerebral hemodynamics poorly understood • May or may not increase regional cerebral blood flow but minimal effects on metabolism • Increases neuronal activity • May have a neuroprotective effect as a NMDA antagonist • S+isomer may have less cerebral effects

  45. Ketamine Head Injury • Maybe • It is all about Numbers and not Outcome • Are transient decreases in MAP and CPP with thiopentothal or midazolam worse or better than transient increases in MAP and ICP with ketamine? • Who Cares? Patient profile

  46. Controversies Sedation and Induction in ER • Multiple medication options • Significant potential adverse effects with most meds but few significant complications • Literature relatively weak in design and numbers with multiple manipulations of data • Significant pharmaceutical money at stake

  47. Controversies • Safety is paramount*-- enhance with drug knowledge, preprocedure assessment, monitoring and discharge criteria • Efficacy is important but sedation depth is poorly defined and measured • Efficiency is important but cannot preclude safety and efficacy • Medicolegal concerns necessitate improved documentation • Ideal Drug?
