Abstrakt: Introduction: Although associated with respiratory morbidity, elective endotracheal intubation (ETI) for laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the standard practice at our institution, with 100% of patients undergoing preoperation ETI. To mitigate this risk, we strove to reduce the percentage of infants intubated for laser photocoagulation by 30% by June 2022.
Methods: We assembled a multidisciplinary team and implemented a deep sedation guideline utilizing dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, and midazolam with noninvasive ventilation support for laser photocoagulation in January 2020. Outcome, process, and balancing measures tracked the efficacy and safety of the quality improvement project.
Results: We reduced the percentage of infants requiring intubation for laser photocoagulation from 100% (8/8) to 10% (1/10). We reduced the average time to return to baseline respiratory status from 224.1 to 33.8 hours (9.3d to1.4 d). Cardiorespiratory index scores slightly increased (1 to 1.2), and pain scores remained unchanged after interventions.
Conclusions: A multidisciplinary team approach using a deep sedation guideline and noninvasive ventilation can safely reduce the requirement for intubation during laser photocoagulation with a faster return to baseline respiratory status.
