PALISI Approved Survey: Short-acting Sedatives for Extubation in Children

Dear Colleague,

We are interested in describing the current use of short-acting sedatives for the extubation of children in intensive care units. The PALISI Network Executive Summary: International Clinical Practice Guidelines for Pediatric Ventilation Liberation recommended "a targeted sedation management strategy using a validated, reliable tool to set sedation targets". However, data on pediatric-specific sedative use in the peri-extubation period is limited.

We hope that obtaining more information about providers' current practices will allow us to identify how best to perform future clinical studies to improve rates of unplanned extubations and extubation failures.
