Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study design will allow investigators to describe usual care in each PICU and identify the facilitating and restraining factors impacting the implementation of R2 at each PICU. The purpose of this pilot study is to improve the care, environment, daily routine and sleep patterns of children in the PICU. The goal of this study is to learn what can be improved to support a critically ill child's healing and circadian rhythms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hospitals should do the sick no harm. That noted, modern day pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are not healing milieus. Immediately upon admission to the PICU, the child's daily routine and sleep patterns are replaced by a well-intended but not patient-centered PICU routine. The interprofessional investigative team believes that PICU care and environments can be modulated to sustain a young child's circadian rhythm (CR) and support their physiological resilience and capacity to heal. The first step in this program of research is to pilot-test RESTORE resilience (R2), a 7-item individualized bundle that we hypothesize will restore CR in critically ill children using a pre-posttest design. Two separate PICUs will each enroll 10 baseline subjects followed by 20 intervention subjects, 6 months to 18 years of age, who are intubated and mechanically ventilated for acute respiratory failure. Specifically, as soon as possible after PICU admission, parents will be interviewed to create an individualized chronotherapeutic bundle to include (1) focused effort to replicate the child's pre-hospitalization daily routine (bedtime/wake time, bedtime/arousal routine, nap time, feeding schedule, active periods), (2) cycled day-night lighting and modulation of sound to match the child's routine, (3) minimal yet effective sedation using a nurse-implemented goal-directed sedation plan (RESTORE), (4) night fasting with bolus enteral daytime feedings, (5) early, developmentally-appropriate, progressive exercise and mobility (PICU Up!), (6) continuity in nursing care, and (7) parent diaries. The overall objective of this study is to pilot-test an intervention that can be implemented in any PICU that will improve sleep-wake patterns with restoration/maintenance of circadian rhythms in critically ill children with acute respiratory failure. Results of this pilot study will be used to inform the design of an adequately powered multicenter randomized trial of R2.
