Pain/Agitation/Sedation Flashcards

1
Q

Analgosedation

A
  1. Analgesia
    * Bolus or PRN opioids first
  2. Sedation
    * If still agitated, propofol/dexmedtomidine/ketamine
    * benzo prn boluses only
  3. Delirium
    * screen/identify early
    * #1 nonpharm prevention!
    * #2 consider pharm options after

NO DRIPS YET!!

paralyzes patient
facilitate mechanical vent/ rapid sequence intubation

  • no analgesic/sedative properties

should put patient in deep sedation to prevent them from freaking out dt
