Creating Best Practices for ICU Sedation

Safe and effective sedation of ICU patients requires a team approach to assess sedation level, establish therapeutic endpoints, choose the appropriate medications, manage pain and delirium, and recognize and prevent sedation-induced complications. Our expert faculty includes Dr. Michael Ramsay (Ramsay Sedation Scale), Anne Pohlman (ICU Sedation Vacation) and Dr. John Devlin (SCCM Sedation Guidelines).

Objectives:
Review ordering, assessing, and monitoring of ICU sedation including a review of sedation, administration safety and new data from smart pumps.

Identify emerging drugs and technologies impacting the safety and effectiveness of ICU sedation practice.

Discuss nove multi-disciplinary programs to reduce sedation domplications.
