Sound Levels in the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Unit and Their Correlation With Sedation Administration, Delirium Scores and Patient Heart Rate

United States64 participantsStarted 2021-03-01

Plain-language summary

There is limited data regarding sound levels and burden in the pediatric cardiac critical care unit and how this compares with WHO standards. We seek to record this data and correlate sound level with bolus sedation administration, patient delirium scores, and patient heart rate trends. Primary Outcomes * 1 peak sound level in cardiac ICU in decibels * 2 Mean sound level in cardiac ICU in decibels * 3 Compare sound levels to WHO recommendations Secondary Outcomes * 1 To explore patient and unit factors that might influence these levels * 2 To analyze sound levels in post-operative neonates, versus infants, versus children * 3 To analyze patients on invasive versus non-invasine versus no ventilation
