Innovative Approaches to Assessment of Pain Control and Sedation in the NICU
Studienübersicht

Detaillierte Beschreibung
This is a prospective, non-interventional study designed to assess noxious-specific neurophysiologic responses and clinical signs following procedural pain in infants requiring hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) following elective surgery.
The main goal of the study is to develop a method that reliably quantifies the level of pain induced from clinically-required noxious procedures to infants hospitalized in the NICU. This method will use measures of neurophysiological, autonomic, and behavioral responses to non-noxious and clinically-required noxious stimuli in order to guide the pharmacological treatment of NICU patients with analgesic agents, sedatives and/or muscle relaxants.
The investigators hypothesize that resting state activity and physiological responses to noxious and non-noxious stimuli provide a more reliable assessment of the level of pain of infants hospitalized in the NICU compared to behavioral-based pain scores.

Beschreibung
Inclusion Criteria:
- All patients will be admitted to the NICU, and having a post-menstrual age of >28 weeks. Participants will be divided into four groups according to the following criteria:

- Patients who are anticipated to receive prolonged post-surgical neuromuscular blockade
Group B
- Plan for major surgery anticipated to cause pain and agitation (i.e. bowel surgery);
- Patients who are not anticipated to receive acute post-surgical neuromuscular blockade
Group C Plan for minor surgery anticipated to cause pain and agitation (i.e. hernia repair);
Group D No plan for surgery
Exclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed or suspected clinical seizures
- Metabolic abnormalities or inborn error of metabolism
- Skin abrasions or wounds located at the site of research sensor placement i.e. scalp, which interfere with the application of electrodes

Noxious Stimuli Results
Zeitfenster: Up to 1 year
|
To assess pain-specific brain activity and autonomic responses post surgery in response to an acute noxious procedure in newborn infants admitted to the NICU. This outcome will be correlated with current behavioral and physiological based pain assessment tools as follows: Procedural-specific brain activity in infants with varying conditions with pre or post-operative pain. EEG: amplitude of noxious-event related potential evoked by a time-locked noxious stimulus. Pain-specific electro-dermal activity (EDA), electromyography (EMG) and subdermal skin flow; Pain-evoked behavioral measures including: Body movement; Eye squeeze, brow bulge and nasolabial furrow duration. Pain-evoked physiological measures including: Respiration rate; Heart rate; Blood pressure; Oxygen saturation; Observational pain scores (PIPP); EMG activity. |
