ABSTRACT

The current pandemic and its economic and social consequences increase the stress of young people and their families. For the most vulnerable young people, this situation of increased or cumulative stress may be a risk factor for the emergence or relapse of psychological disorders. In this article, we propose a brief literature review of the research published on this issue since the emergence of the crisis put in perspective of local observations and possible interventions for practitioners.

ABSTRACT

Rationale: Observational studies describe high sedative and analgesic medication (SA) requirements in patients with COVID-19 ARDS. High levels of SA have been shown to increase ICU length-of-stay, incidence of delirium, and mortality;all of which increase health system utilization. The aim of this study is to evaluate SA parameters in patients with COVID-19 ARDS undergoing tracheostomy. Methods: We enrolled 55 COVID-19 positive adult patients undergoing tracheostomy between 4/16/20 and 8/26/20. Cumulative dosage and sedation parameters, Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) scores, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were collected in the 48-hour periods pre-and post-tracheostomy via chart review. Data analysis was performed with Microsoft Excel Analysis ToolPak. Results: Baseline characteristics include a mean age of 60.2, mean BMI of 30.2 kg/m2, 28 (51%) were male, and 39 (70.9%) of the tracheostomies were placed percutaneously. Fentanyl was used in 38 (69.1%), dexmedetomidine in 28 (50.9%), midazolam in 13 (23.6%), hydromorphone in 13 (23.6%), and propofol in 12 (21.8%) patients. •Total fentanyl dose (6940.3 mcg to 5382.2 mcg p=0.02) and total propofol dose (67066 mcg/kg to 24098 mcg/kg, p=0.02) were significantly lower post-tracheostomy compared to pre-tracheostomy (Figure 1). •There was a trend toward lower dexmedetomidine (27.7 mcg/kg to 27.4 mcg/kg, p=0.91), midazolam (183.4 mg to 133.8 mg, p=0.27), and hydromorphone (216.0 mg to 206.2 mg, p=0.72) total doses in the post-tracheostomy period. •Mean ordered RASS goals were similar in both groups (-1.1 to-0.9, p=0.12). Mean RASS deviations from goal were also similar in both groups (-0.3 vs-0.2, p=0.64). •Mean GCS values (8.4 to 9.1, p=0.007) were significantly higher in the post-tracheostomy group. Conclusions: In this retrospective cohort of COVID-19 ARDS patients undergoing tracheostomy, SA requirements were decreased in the post-tracheostomy period. Both fentanyl (22.4% reduction) and propofol (64.1% reduction) total doses were significantly lower post-tracheostomy. All other recorded SA trended toward reduction in the post-tracheostomy period but without statistical significance (Figure 1). Assessment of sedation scores showed that reduction in SA use were not associated with changes in ordered RASS goals or worse adherence to RASS goals, as these were similar in both groups. These findings suggest that the same RASS goal, and an increased GCS, may be equally obtained with less sedation in the post-tracheostomy period. We recognize the limitations of a retrospective, single-enter, cohort study. Early tracheostomy should be considered in appropriate patients to reduce SA administration and reduce health care utilization, particularly with ICU beds at a premium.

ABSTRACT

SESSION TITLE: Procedures Posters SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Posters PRESENTED ON: October 18-21, 2020 PURPOSE: To evaluate the practice of creation of tracheostomies during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on clinical outcomes and sedation parameters. METHODS: We enrolled 45 consecutive COVID-19 positive adult patients whom a consult for tracheostomy was placed at Johns Hopkins Hospital between 4/16/2020 and 5/22/2020. A total of 38 tracheostomies were performed at the time of censoring. Five of the patients were extubated before performance of tracheostomy and two were awaiting creation of tracheostomy. Data was collected via manual extraction on clinical outcomes, sedative medication use for the 48 hours pre- and 48 hours post-tracheostomy. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics of the 45 patients include a median age of 62, BMI of 30, with an even split of Male:Female (23:22). The median days of intubation before tracheostomy was 20 (range: 5-36), median days from consult for tracheostomy to performance of tracheostomy was 3. A multidisciplinary team across specialties performed the tracheostomy consults with Interventional Pulmonary performing 18, Otolaryngology 13, General Surgery 9, Thoracic Surgery 5. 29 of the tracheostomies were performed percutaneously. A bronchoalveolar lavage, tracheal aspirate, or sputum sample was obtained on the day of performance of the tracheostomy and 35 of the 38 were negative for COVID-19. The samples were sent a median of 23.5 days after the initial positive test. Mortality on date of censoring was 7 (15.6%) including 5 (13.2%) of the patients with tracheostomy. 10 (22.2%) had been discharged including 9 (23.7%) of the patients with tracheostomy. Sedation and analgesia (total dose in 48 hours pre- (PR) and 48 hours post post-tracheostomy (PO)) expressed as median dosage for patients receiving that medication:- Dexmedetomidine (mcg/kg/hr): PR (18 patients): 28.7;PO (17 patients): 27.4- Midazolam (mg): PR (7 patients): 82.6;PO (8 patients): 55.5- Fentanyl (mcg): PR (21 patients): 450.0;PO (19 patients): 618.75- Propofol (mcg/kg/min): PR (8 patients): 1245.2;PO (5 Patients): 84.4 CONCLUSIONS: In the early-phase of the COVID-19 pandemic 38 patients with COVID-19 induced respiratory failure underwent successful tracheostomy. The median length of intubation prior to tracheostomy was 20 days, longer than our historical average, likely related to initial concerns over performing this high-risk aerosolizing procedure. The total dosage of each sedative medication decreased from the 48 hours pre- and post-tracheostomy, potentially related to endotracheal tube removal. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: We were able to show that performance of tracheostomy during COVID-19 is safe and can be approached from multiple specialties. Early tracheostomy should be considered in appropriate patients to reduce cumulative sedative medication dose, length of intubation, length of ICU stay, and cost of admission.
