Effect of neuromuscular blockade on the bispectral index in critically ill patients.

Introduction: It has been suggested that neuromuscular blockade (NMB) affects the capacity of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring to measure consciousness in sedated children. Our aim was to analyse the impact of NMB on BIS values in critically ill children.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of children monitored with a BIS system that received a continuous infusion of vecuronium.

Sleep Characteristics of the Staff Working in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Based on a Survey.

The objective is to evaluate the sleep characteristics of the staff working in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). They were asked to complete an anonymous survey concerning the characteristics and quality of their sleep, as well as the impact of sleep disturbances on their work and social life, assessed by Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ)-10 questionnaire. The response rate was 84.
