ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Children with neuroblastoma receiving I-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) therapy require sedation-analgesia for strict radiation safety precautions during MIBG infusion and clearance. We evaluated the sedation-analgesia trends of patients undergoing MIBG therapy using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Retrospective data from 476 patient encounters from the PHIS from 2010 to 2019.RESULTS:
Total 240/476 (50.45%) children evaluated were under 6 years of age. Compared to 2010, in 2018 there was a decrease in benzodiazepine infusion use (60% vs. 40%, p < .04), as well as a decrease in use of opiate infusion (35% vs. 25%, p < .001). Compared to 2010, in 2018 we report an increase in the use of ketamine (from 5% to 10%, p < .002), as well as an increase in dexmedetomidine use (0% vs. 30%, p < .001). Dexmedetomidine was the most used medication in the 0-3 years age group compared to children older than 3 years of age (14.19% vs. 5.80%, p < .001). Opiate was the most used medication in children greater than 3 years compared to the 0-3-year age group (36.23 vs. 23.87, p < .05).CONCLUSION:
Using PHIS data, we discovered considerable variability in the medications used for sedation in patients undergoing MIBG therapy. Although benzodiazepines and opioids were the most used agents, there was a trend toward decreasing use of benzodiazepines and opioids in these patients. Furthermore, there has been an increasing trend in the use of dexmedetomidine and ketamine.Palabras clave
