Background
Trial design
Training and process evaluation
Progress summary
Discontinuing mechanical ventilation (MV) -important patient-relevant priority
• Adult ICUs, moderate quality evidence for weaning protocols in reducing clinically relevant duration of MV time (n=17 trials)1
• Spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) now recommended practice
• Paediatric ICUs, low quality evidence (n=3 trials)2
• 2011 Foronda (n=294, significant effect, 1.2d median difference, p0.01)3

Background to the trial
5
• Feasibility work1,2: visits 26 PICUs - variability in practice; low engagement junior staff; support from parents/children
• Paediatric Intensive Care Society prioritization exercise 2015 (#1 priority)
• Commissioned and funded by NIHR

Research Questions
7
Will the SANDWICH approach to managing sedation and weaning ventilation enable coordinated management of weaning and reduce delays in the weaning process?
• Does it result in patient benefit & no additional harm?
• Is it cost effective in the NHS?
• Is it sustainable and acceptable to staff delivering care?

Trial started 5 Feb 2018 Trial ended 14 Oct 2019 Study ends June 2020
Cluster randomised stepped wedge
design
Participants• 72% eligible UK PICUs
• Opt-out consent approach
• Inclusion: all children receiving IMV
• Exclusion: those who will not be extubated
• Target sample: N = 9,520, to achieve 80% power and 1d difference

Intervention bundle incorporated…
1. Co-ordinated care with greater nursing involvement
2. Patient-relevant sedation plans linked to regular assessment using a COMFORT scale
3. Regular assessment of ventilation parameters with a higher than usual trigger for undertaking an extubation readiness test
4. Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) on low levels of respiratory support to test extubation readiness

COMFORT Score Interpretation
COMFORT scores in red zone necessitate a pain assessment to indicate if the primary cause is a
Pain OR Sedation issue.
12
Comparator – usual care
• Sedation assessment by nurses mainly using COMFORT tool, variable assessment periods, no discussion of scores with doctors
• Nurses tend to use liberal sedation – delayed weaning
• Ventilation weaning led by consultants (some senior nurses) with little/no involvement of junior staff
• Weaning method involved a gradual reduction to very low levels of ventilatory support before extubation
13
Outcomes
• Intervention-specific (duration of IMV; successful extubation; self-extubation; reintubation; tracheostomy)
• Resource/economic (PICU, hospital length of stay; cost/respiratory complication avoided at 28 days)
• Harms (ICU, hospital mortality; complications)
• Process (factors related to undertaking the training; delivering the new approach; adherence)
14
SANDWICH Training
• Implementation Manager – educational development; implementation liaison; train the trainers
• Educational package – online (LearnPro); face-to-face delivery; training manual; promotional resources (pens, posters, stickers)
• SANDWICH nurses 0.5 WTE/PICU (research and educational role)
• Multi-disciplinary PICU ‘champions’ (average 1:10-12)
• Target 80% staff trained/PICU in 8-week training period
15
Process evaluation (PE)
• Qualitative exploration of context, mechanism and impact on outcomes (interviews with staff; adherence data)
• Necessary – complex intervention; multi-centre trial
• Susceptible to variations – implemented, received, delivered
• Helps distinguish between intervention and implementation failure
• Delivers information concerning sustainability and further adoption
16
Summary
• Largest paediatric ICU trial (>10,000 patients, >2000 staff)
• Impact of using this trial design - substantial change in practice (~71% children admitted to UK PICUs weaned using SANDWICH)
• Crucial to success in running the trial…fantastic PICU engagement; implementation science; PE to tell the story behind the data; efficient clinical trials unit
• Data queries/sign off – 31 Dec; data cleaning/analysis – May 2020; results expected June 2020
