| 8 | Intensive care drug therapy and its potential adverse effects on blood pressure and heart rate in critically ill children显示文摘Background Owing to complex treatment,critically ill children may experience alterations in their vital parameters.We investigated whether such hemodynamic alterations were temporally and causally related to drug therapy.Methods In a university pediatric intensive care unit,we retrospectively analyzed hemodynamic alterations defined as values exceeding the limits set for heart rate(HR)and blood pressure(BP).For causality assessment,we used the World Health Organization–Uppsala Monitoring Center(WHO–UMC)system,which categorizes the probability of causality as“certain,”“probable,”“possible,”and“unlikely.”Results Of 315 analyzed patients with 43,200 drug prescriptions,59.7%experienced at least one hemodynamic alteration;39.0%were affected by increased HR,19.0%by decreased HR,18.1%by increased BP,and 16.2%by decreased BP.According to drug information databases,83.9%of administered drugs potentially lead to hemodynamic alterations.Overall,88.3%of the observed hemodynamic alterations had a temporal relation to the administration of drugs;in 80.2%,more than one drug was involved.Based on the WHO–UMC system,a drug was rated as a“probable”causing factor for only 1.4%of hemodynamic alterations.For the remaining alterations,the probability ratings were lower because of multiple potential causes,e.g.,several drugs.Conclusions Critically ill children were frequently affected by hemodynamic alterations.The administration of drugs with potentially adverse effects on hemodynamic parameters is often temporally related to hemodynamic alterations.Hemodynamic alterations are often multifactorial,e.g.,due to administering multiple drugs in rapid succession;thus,the influence of individual drugs cannot easily be captured with the WHO–UMC system. | Lisa Marie Kiesel Astrid Bertsche Wieland Kiess Manuela Siekmeyer Thilo Bertsche Martina Patrizia Neininger | 2023 | World Journal of Pediatrics2023，19，9： | 0 |
