ASSESSMENT OF SEDATION IN CRITICALLY ILL NEONATES DURING MUSCLE PARALYSIS: A CONTINUOUS NURSING CHALLENGE?
Anja de Ruiter; Sandra Prins; Monique van Dijk
Excerpt
Assessment of sedation during neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in critically ill neonates is hardly investigated and hard to evaluate rendering awareness as a major concern. For assessment of adequacy of sedation physiological signs such as hypertension or tachycardia are often used. An objective measurement of depth of sedation in paralysed children is potentially the Bispectral index monitor (BIS). In this study, we address the effectiveness of BIS monitoring during NMB in neonates.
