Posted October 12, 200915 yr comment_2422 hello all Do you use sedation during MV(SIMV,A/C) routeinlly. I mean if baby not agitated for example. If yes wich sedation do you use. Thank.
October 24, 200915 yr comment_2481 Yes, we use it when the a baby is agitated or has a high pain level score, and depending on the pathology (post-operative, NEC,...) but only when mechanical ventilation is prolonged.
October 28, 200915 yr we use midazolam in a dose of 0.1 mg/kg sos ,when the baby fights . we do not use paralytics . Is it so for others?
November 28, 200915 yr routinely we use morphine for all ventilated babies and if baby fights the ventilator add midazolam. Paralytics are used only during the intubation and initiation of ventilation. always use good doses, not halfway doses
December 18, 200915 yr comment_2727 Hello everybody. We do not use sedation as a routine. If the baby is agitated or fights, we use fentanil and add midazolam, and only sometimes curaro when baby's fights is "too strong" and it becomes dangerous
December 18, 200915 yr We use morphine for babies needing ventilation as it is painful to intubate the baby and if still baby is agitated, we add midazolam. We do not use paralytic agents. If baby is not agitated, and not fighting the ventilator , or not having spontaneuous breaths, other causes needs to look for.
