How to Choose the Right Analgesia/Sedation in the Pediatric Patient

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Professor Pete Johnson discusses how to choose the right analgesia sedation in pediatric patients. He identifies several barriers to optimizing agent selection, including drug shortages, patient-specific factors such as renal or hepatic dysfunction, tolerance, and obesity. He also highlights the importance of having a protocol in place and provides considerations for creating one, such as using scoring tools for pain and sedation, selecting appropriate agents, and considering unit-specific needs. Professor Johnson also discusses barriers to protocol implementation, including institutional culture and lack of provider agreement, and emphasizes the importance of education and interprofessional leadership. He concludes by addressing the sustainability of protocols and suggests ongoing educational strategies, data collection, and feedback as key factors for success.
