Validation of a Processed EEG Device for Monitoring Sedation in PICU
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of this prospective observational study is to validate pEEG as a monitoring tool for the analgosedation level in mechanically-ventilated critically ill children, receiving or not-receiving NMBAs. The main question aims to answer is to measure the strength of agreement between pEEG score and Comfort Behavioural Scale (CBS) (goal standard). Participants will be monitored with pEEG and CBS evaluated during PICU admission. paralysis holiday) by a specialized PICU nurse and by a critical-care expert physician, blinded to each other.
