335 Sources of Sound Exposure in Pediatric Critical Care

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Sleep is critical for healing, however pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) sound is above recommended levels (i.e., 45 A-weighted decibels [dBA]). This observational study identifies sources of PICU sound and compares sources between times of high (i.e., dBA≥45) and low (i.e., dBA...

description OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Sleep is critical for healing, however pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) sound is above recommended levels (i.e., 45 A-weighted decibels [dBA]). This observational study identifies sources of PICU sound and compares sources between times of high (i.e., dBA≥45) and low (i.e., dBA < 45) levels. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The sound environment of 10 critically ill children 1 to 4 years of age was monitored via a bedside dosimeter and video camera for 48 hours, or until PICU discharge. Dosimeter and video data were uploaded to Noldus Observer XT and time synchronized. A reliable, previously published coding scheme developed to identify sound sources in the adult ICU was modified for the pediatric population. Sound sources (e.g., clinician/family/child [verbal vs. non-verbal] vocalization, patient care, medical equipment) were identified via instantaneous sampling of video data at each minute of recording. The proportion of sampling points with each sound source are compared between times of high and low sound levels, and between day (7:00-18:59) and night (19:00-6:59) shift. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Video coding is ongoing, with high inter-rater reliability (κ̅=0.99, SD DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Medical equipment sound is ubiquitous in the PICU. Clinicians should optimize the PICU sound environment for sleep, including minimizing equipment alarms, conversation, general activity, and screen media during child rest. Large-scale studies are needed to confirm findings from this small cohort.
