ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Neonatal resuscitation may require urgent umbilical venous catheter (UVC) placement. Complications can be observed with umbilical venous catheterization, especially in a stressful context. Inspired by the aeronautic environment, medical routine checklists, also called "cognitive aids," secure the equipment and environment for the patients once they are admitted to the operating room. We hypothesized that reading a cognitive aid for UVC placement in the delivery room during neonatal resuscitation simulation scenarios can (a) improve the performance in reducing catheterization duration and (b) can limit complications. METHODS: This was a prospective single-center randomized study. A total of 23 dyads for a simulation scenario were included: 12 in the control group and 11 in the cognitive aid group. In the cognitive aid group, the cognitive aid was read by the same facilitator for every scenario. RESULTS: No significant difference concerning the duration of the procedure was identified between the cognitive aid and control groups: 412 s [342; 420] vs. 374 s [338;402], respectively (p = 0.781). Nevertheless, there were significantly fewer deviations from hygiene guidelines and improved prevention of air embolism in the cognitive aid group compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: The UVC insertion time was similar between the control and cognitive aid groups. Moreover, cognitive aid can limit infectious complications or air embolism by allowing caregivers to follow UVC placement standards.

ABSTRACT

Background: Tonsil surgery causes significant and challenging postoperative pain. The Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) and videopupillometry are two techniques of interest to monitor nociception in adults and may predict postoperative morphine requirements. We hypothesised that these techniques could predict the need for morphine after tonsillectomy in children. The main objective was to assess the prognostic significance of ANI and videopupillometry, measured at the end of surgery, on morphine consumption determined by a Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale score >3 in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Methods: A single-centre, prospective, interventional study evaluating children between 2 and 7 yr old undergoing tonsil surgery was performed. ANI and videopupillometry with tetanic stimulation were measured under general anaesthesia 4 min after the end of the surgical procedure. Each child was evaluated every 10 min by a nurse using the FLACC scale in the PACU and blinded to the measurements performed in the operating theatre. Results: Eighty-nine children were analysed and 39 (44%) received morphine in the PACU. Neither ANI values nor videopupillometry values were predictive of postoperative morphine consumption (areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI; 0.42-0.65], and P=0.57; and 0.52, 95% CI [0.41-0.63], and P=0.69, respectively). Neither ANI values nor videopupillometry values were correlated to the maximum FLACC scale score in the PACU with ρ=0.04 (P=0.71) and ρ=0.06 (P=0.57), respectively. Conclusions: Neither ANI nor videopupillometry performed at the end of surgery can predict morphine consumption in the PACU in children undergoing tonsillectomy.
