Almost all @entity1 in the pediatric intensive care (PICU) need @entity1337 and/or sedation. Analgesics drugs are used to control @entity158 from surgical incisions, drainages, vascular access or endotracheal suctioning. Sedatives are used to facilitate the delivery of nursing care, to facilitate mechanical ventilation, prevent self-extubation and to minimize @entity1 discomfort. A therapeutic plan for @entity1337 and sedation should be established for each @entity1 and regularly reviewed. The most often used sedation agents in PICU @entity1 are @entity1286 or @entity3575 alone or in combination with @entity1363 . Several other drugs should be helpful to manage PICU @entity1 therefore techniques like regional anesthesia and @entity1 controlled @entity1337 to decrease the use of intravenous @entity1337 and sedation and to reduce the incidence of @entity3347 . The therapeutic plan for @entity1337 and sedation should be established for each @entity1 and regularly reviewed. Doses of sedative agents should be titrated to produce the desired level of sedation. The level of sedation should be regularly assessed and documented using few validated sedation assessment tool. However, behavioral evaluation tools based on @entity1 responsiveness, cannot be used during the administration of neuromuscular blocking agents. Under this conditions it could be difficult to interpret the degree of sedation. EEG derived Monitoring devices may represents an useful tools of assessing the level of sedation, but there is insufficient evidence to support the routine use of the BIS monitor in PICU.
