The recollections of critically ill children following discharge from the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) have not previously been described. We have interviewed such children to establish the nature of their recollections.
Children aged 4 years and above were interviewed following discharge from the PICU at the Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, either in hospital or at home, using a semistructured interview. Their recollections were recorded and interpreted by content analysis.
A total of 38 interviews were carried out; 44 specific recollections were reported, the majority being neutral (60%) or positive (25%). Only 15% of recollections were negative. Negative recollections related to aspects of medical care and environmental factors. No child treated with neuromuscular blocking agents remembered any period of therapeutic paralysis.
Children's recollections of PICU are mainly neutral or positive. Mechanically ventilated children sedated with midazolam and morphine remember little of endotracheal intubation.
此前尚未对儿科重症监护病房(PICU)出院的危重症患儿的回忆情况进行过描述。我们对这类患儿进行了访谈,以确定他们回忆的性质。
对4岁及以上从诺丁汉女王医疗中心PICU出院的患儿,在医院或家中采用半结构化访谈进行调查。通过内容分析法对他们的回忆进行记录和解读。
共进行了38次访谈;报告了44项具体回忆,其中大多数为中性(60%)或正面(25%)。只有15%的回忆是负面的。负面回忆与医疗护理方面和环境因素有关。接受神经肌肉阻滞剂治疗的患儿均未记得任何治疗性麻痹期。
儿童对PICU的回忆主要是中性或正面的。用咪达唑仑和吗啡镇静的机械通气患儿对气管插管的记忆很少。
