Page 3 I hereby apply for privileges to perform * PEDIATRIC Deep Sedation with Anesthesia at the following Facilities: X Carolinas Medical Center q Carolinas Medical Center-University q Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville Medicines and Dosing Guidelines have been approved by the Medical Staffs of the above listed facilities for Deep Sedation with Anesthesia Propofol Dosing Guidelines for Pediatric Deep Sedation Children under 5 years of age are not eligible for propofol sedation by an emergency medicine or pediatric emergency physician. Drug Dose Onset Duration IV Bolus Dosing 40 seconds 3 5 minutes 0.25-1.0 mg/kg 0.2-0.5 mg/kg every 3 5 min Propofol Propofol Injectable Emulsion should be administered only by persons trained in the administration of general anesthesia and not involved in the conduct of the surgical/diagnostic procedure Recommend draw up Propofol 1mg/kg in syringe and infuse slowly (i.e. over 3-5 minutes) as some patients will be adequately sedate at doses of 0.25mg/kg and many patients will not require the entire 1mg/kg to reach adequate sedation. Titration stops when level required achieved and then may be reinitiated when level of sedation wanes. 1 3 minutes 5 7 minutes IV Infusion Dosing 100-150 mcg/kg/min for 3-5 minutes 25-75 mcg/kg/min Rarely needed or recommended for nonintubated sedation in the emergency department unless period of sedation will be prolonged.
Page 4 Pediatric Propofol Dosage and Administration (Procedural sedation): - Can be used alone or with an opiate since it provides amnesia but no analgesia. - Should be used with ETCO2 Capnography. - Pre-dose of IV lidocaine or fentanyl prior to Propofol may be reasonable to decrease burning. For painful procedures utilization of fentanyl at usual dose for pain through IV that you are going to give the Propofol through is reasonable (Propofol is not an analgesic). If only using the fentanyl for Propofol injection related pain than 1 ug/kg typically used. It is ideal to use blood pressure cuff for 1 minute after giving the narcotic for maximum effect. If not a painful procedure, lidocaine may be used to decrease Propofol injection related pain: Pre-dose with preservative free 1% lidocaine: Pt s Wt (Kg s) ml s (1%) Lidocaine ml NS Total ml Vol 15 0.75 9.25 10 20 1.00 9.00 10 25 1.25 8.75 10 30 1.50 8.50 10 35 1.75 8.25 10 40 2.00 8.00 10 45 2.25 7.75 10 50 2.50 7.50 10 With either fentanyl or lidocaine predose: 1. While occluding the brachial artery, elevate the arm to a vertical position and maintain pressure for two minutes. Adequate occlusion of the brachial artery will be evidenced within a short period of time by increasing blanching of the hand and a lack of a pulse over the radial artery. 2. Inflate blood pressure cuff above systolic pressure. Maintain tourniquet pressure continuously. 3. Check patency of IV with small amount of saline prior to injecting medication. Inject slowly over a couple minutes to prevent leakage under the tourniquet. Let cuff down >1minute later. I have attained the level of competency required to administer the above requested drugs for deep sedation with anesthesia through the following training and/or experience: Training in emergency medicine, years of practice, seminars, reading, conferences, education modules
