● If IV access is not possible within 2 minutes of shock / arrest, an 18 gauge (pink) needle or IO if available should be placed in the proximal tibia or distal femur.
● Adrenaline: 1mL of 1:1000 solution should be diluted in 9mL saline. The pediatric dose is 0.1 mL/kg IV/IO
NOTE ON WEIGHTS AND DOSES ● Weight Do not give drugs or IV fluids before determining
the weight of the baby/ child. If s/he cannot be weighed in casualty, a length-based weight must be obtained using a Broselow or PAWPER tape
● Weight may also be estimated from the child’s age as: [Age x 2] + 4 kg (malnourished) / [Age x 2 ]+ 8kg (well-nourished)
● MUAC (mid upper arm circumference) must also be quickly measured - if MUAC is <13.5 subtract one color category (2 categories if MUAC <11.5) or weight will be overestimated

CRITICALCAREPROTOCOLS
RESPIRATORYCARE
CPAPIf the baby is has a reasonable respiratory effort with CPAP and has a relatively low oxygen requirement, then it is safer to use CPAP than intubation (unless the baby has multiple apneas on CPAP). Babies managed on CPAP rarely have issues with low CO2. If a baby’s respiratory effort becomes significantly labored with severe thoracic retractions despite CPAP, then it is likely a more significant ventilation (CO2) or oxygenation problem and intubation may be needed. Consider surfactant as adjunct in Neonates Contraindications: CDH, recent intestinal surgery.

INTUBATION:SIZESandSUPPLIESFor neonates, ETT size can be estimated by dividing the gestational age in
weeks by 10, and taped at a depth of 6 + weight (kg). The following table may be a more precise guide:

Adults Miller 3 * Infants <1000 gm usually only intubated to give surfactant but are not ventilated.
For older children, ETT size can be calculated using the following formula: ETT = (Age in years) + 4 4 Depth of insertion at the lip for oral intubation can be estimated at:
3 x ETT size (cm)
Measure Cuff pressures every shift if cuffed.

VENTILATORMANAGEMENTGE Ventilators Our nurses are extremely helpful in setting up the ventilator initially and running calibration.
How to set the ventilator up initially (generally): 1. FiO2 to meet desired saturation goals 2. Rate 20-40 3. PIP to ensure TV of 6-8/kg 4. PEEP 5 For a preterm less than 32 weeks: start with PIP 23 / PEEP 5 For a term neonate or any child: start with PIP 20 / PEEP 5 Then change settings (within a few minutes) according to stiffness of the lung (oxygen requirements, x-ray, chest rising clinically)
• FiO2 should be set as required. Aim for as low a FiO2 as
tolerated for SaO2 90-95, except in pulmonary hypertension when SaO2 97-100 are preferable. No premature baby should have 100% saturations if on supplemental oxygen to avoid damage to eyes and lungs – sats 88-90% is acceptable at Kijabe’s altitude of 7000 ft.
Respiratory Rate/ I-time • As a general rule of thumb, the ratio of inspiratory to
expiratory time should be 1:2. • Appropriate respiratory rate: for respiratory distress
syndrome in a premature ~40bpm; for a term baby with meconium aspiration ~30bpm; for a toddler ~25bpm, for a child ~20bpm, for a teenager ~15bpm
105
• Do not let expiratory time go below 0.5 seconds, so if the set rate is >60 (rare) then decrease inspiratory time instead.
• The baby should ideally "over breathe" the ventilator by around 10-15 breaths per minute.
• If a baby was vigorous prior to intubation and the respiratory rate has been set to 40/min and the baby is not over breathing after around 20 minutes, then the rate should be decreased
• In a healthy lung (e.g. neurologic injury/seizures), the set rate may need to be lower (20-25/min in a term neonate).
Pressures • Set the PEEP (“Expiration”): 5-8 is usually adequate for
a term baby (start at 5) • Set the PIP (“Inspiration”): 17-27 is usually adequate for
a term baby (17 for a health lung, 22-27 for meconium). On GE vent this is added to PEEP (so if PEEP is 5, goal 17 total, set PIP to 12)
• Optimal tidal volume is 6-8/kg. Set the pressures to optimize tidal and monitor chest rise, which should be a smooth physiological movement up and down.
• Lung compliance (stiffness of the lung) can change within a few hours in the same baby, so spontaneous respiratory rate, tidal volume, and chest rise should be monitored frequently to see if rate or PIP need to be altered
Monitoring & Extubation • ETT should be suctioned regularly. Poor
humidification of inspired gasses while intubated can lead to dried secretions causing airway obstruction.
• Small HME filters are available which trap an infants' own vapors during expiration which then humidify the
106
following inspiration. These filters should be changed every 1-2 days
• Blood gases are available in Kijabe and should be measured once the baby is stable on the ventilator. The desired range for arterial CO2 in a premature or term baby is 40-60 mmHg, never less than 35.
• If a baby is breathing well spontaneously over a low set rate of 20-25 with minimal pressures and FiO2, extubation can usually occur from those settings
Minute volume in mL = tidal volume x frequency ÷1000 - tidal volume for a child: ~6-8 mL/kg - respiratory rate: for an adult: 12/min, for a 15 year old: 15/min, for a 6 year old: 20/min, for a 1 year old: 25/min, for a 3 month old 30/min e.g.. for 6 year old, 20 kg child: MV = 7x20 x 20 ÷1000= 2

ANALGESIA&SEDATIONFORVENTILATION
Narcotics: FENTANYL INDICATIONS FOR USE: Used for sedation in ventilation and post trauma pain control and neonates AVAILABLE AS: AMP 100mcg/2ml (50mcg/1ml) DOCTORS ORDER: Order in mcg/kg/hr (eg. 1mcg/kg/hr to attain adequate sedation) USUAL DOSE: Neonate and younger infant 1-5 mcg/kg/hr (tolerance may develop); Older infant and child 1 mcg/kg/hr; titrate to effect; usual infusion range 1-3 mcg/kg/hr
Minimum rate is 0.5 ml/hr (0.5mcg/kg/hr) and maximum rate is 5 ml/hr (5mcg/kg/hr) for neonate and 3ml (3mcg/kg/hr) for child

Narcotics: Morphine Morphine • Should be strongly considered for any intubated trauma patient,
who by the nature of their injuries will have pain. • Signs of pain in a sedated patient include tachycardia,
hypertension, dilated pupils and agitation (although these may be also signs of airway obstruction so monitor airway patency closely).
• IV boluses: May be required initially in doses of 0.05-0.1mg.kg IV in order to gain initial pain control, but repeated boluses may cause hypotension and myocardial depression. * For non-intubated patients, consider ordering morphine every 3-4 hours PRN. For anyone with long bone fracture in the first 48 hours of hospitalization, converting to oral morphine/paracetamol as tolerated. * Also consider regional anesthesia where appropriate rather than systemic opiates (such as a fascia iliaca block for femur fracture).

BENZOS:MIDAZOLAM
INDICATIONS FOR USE: Used for sedation in ventilation and status epilepticus AVAILABLE AS: AMP 5mg/5ml (1mg/1ml) DOCTORS ORDER: Doc should order in mcg/kg/min (e.g. 0.5-1mcg/kg/min to attain adequate sedation) USUAL DOSE: Neonate <32 wk gestation: 0.5 mcg/kg/min >32 wk gestation 1 mcg/kg/min Infant and child 1-2 mcg/kg/min TO CALCULATE DRIP RATE:
1. Calculate milligrams of Midazolam in 100ml of NS to run at 1mg/kg/min= 1ml/hr
2. Divide milligrams obtained in above equation by 2 to calculate the milligrams/50ml syringe.
3. Draw up appropriate mg of drug and add to NS to equal 50 ml total (eg if 5mg, then draw up 5ml of and add to 45 ml of NS)
• Note that benzodiazepines do not have a sedative effect on all children – around 1/6 may have a paradoxical reaction with agitation which is independent of dose.
• IV boluses: May be required to facilitate rapid sequence intubation. Doses range from 0.1 mg/kg for mild sedation to 0.3 mg/kg IV for
deep sedation, but note that hypotension is a dose-dependent side effect and caution should be used in trauma patients.

INOTROPES/PRESSORS
Note: Give adequate volume resuscitation first. Vasopressors/inotropes will only work if a patient is not hypovolemic. In very unstable patients pressors may be started while volume is being given.
Consider for children with self-limited illnesses with a good prognosis, such as acute onset of septic shock or anaphylaxis
Central venous pressures are not able to be measured, nor are arterial pressures. Children for whom pressors are considered to be of likely benefit must have appropriate sized blood pressure cuffs for q15 min measurement of MAP. All drugs dosed in mcg/kg/minute should be mixed according to the rule of 6’s found in front cover of the Harriet Lane. Our infusion pumps run 50cc syringes, so you will divide your final number in half to get the amount in 50cc
