From 2018 to 2020, we realized at our hospital that \u223c25% of children received sedation in an adequate time frame in the pediatric emergency department, with 2 unplanned dislodgements of the endotracheal tube. Our objective was to reduce time to initiating PIS from a mean of 39 minutes to less than 15 minutes in our pediatric emergency department by September 2021.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS<\/jats:title>\n A multidisciplinary team was formed in March 2020 to develop a key driver diagram and a protocol to standardize PIS. Baseline data were obtained from December 2017 through March 2020. The primary measure was time from intubation to administration of first sedation medication. Plan-do-study-act cycles informed interventions for protocol development, awareness, education, order set development, and PIS checklist. The secondary measure was unplanned extubations and the balancing measure was PIS-related hypotension requiring pressors. An X-bar and S chart were used to analyze data.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n Protocol implementation was associated with decrease in mean time to PIS from 39 minutes to 21 minutes. Following educational interventions, order set implementation, and the addition of PIS plan to the intubation checklist, there was a decrease in mean time to PIS to 13 minutes, which was sustained for 9 months without any observed episodes of PIS-related hypotension or unplanned extubations.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n Quality improvement methodology led to a sustained reduction in time to initiation of PIS in a pediatric emergency department.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2023-062665","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,27]],"date-time":"2024-03-27T08:06:19Z","timestamp":1711526779000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Reducing Time to Postintubation Sedation in a Pediatric Emergency Department"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"153","author":[{"given":"Claci","family":"Ayers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"aDivision of Pediatric Emergency Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David P.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"bDivision of Pediatric Hospital Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lacey","family":"Noffsinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"aDivision of Pediatric Emergency Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.
