Abstract | Background: Sedation is often used to reduce pain and anxiety in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing lumbar punctures (LPs). There is a potential for long-term effects on neurocognition with repeat sedative exposures in young children. The purpose of this study is to determine the practice habits regarding sedation for LPs in pediatric patients with ALL among multiple institutions. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 48 hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information Systems (PHIS) between October 2015 and December 2019. Children 1 to 18 years old with ALL who received intrathecal chemotherapy in an outpatient setting were included. We analyzed the prevalence of anesthesia usage and the types of anesthetics used. Results: Of the 16,785 encounters with documented use of anesthetic medications, intravenous and inhaled anesthetics were used in 16,486 (98.2%) and local anesthetics alone in 299 (1.8%). The most commonly used medications used for sedation were propofol (n=13,279; 79.1%), midazolam (n=4228; 25.2%), inhaled fluranes (n=3169; 18.9%), and ketamine (n=2100; 12.5%). Conclusion: The majority of children's hospitals in the United States use intravenous and inhaled anesthetics for routine therapeutic LPs in pediatric patients with ALL. Propofol is one of the most common medications used for sedation. |
