    This is the 2nd lesson covering sedation in ICU patients. In the last lesson we talk about what sedation was, as well as covered the various different reasons that we would use sedation, and finally covered the ways in which we monitor our patients on sedation in the ICU including the RASS scale.
    In this lesson we take a look at all the medications and categories of medications that we use for ICU sedation. We start out talking about the 4 different categories that these medications fall in to. The first, being the benzodiazepams. These medications are all GABA receptor agonists and share a lot of unique traits. The 3 medications all very in the length of their duration, Midazalam (Versed) being short acting, Lorazapam (Ativan) being intermediating acting, and Diazepam (Valium) being long acting. Valium is also the only one that we don’t give continuous IV, and Versed is one of our most common ICU drips for sedation.
    Next we quickly talk about the neuroleptics, which are not used as continuous IV drips, but do fall in this class of sedation medications. We quickly mention about Haloperidol (Haldol) and Quetiapine (Seroquel) and how they are good options for treating delirium.
    The next category that we talk about is the barbiturates. These aren’t a commonly used group of medications, but they hold a special place when it comes to helping patients with high ICPs or unmanageable seizure activity. The one medication that we use here in a drip form is a medication called Pentobarbital and so we cover this and its associated doses.
    The final category that we talk about is a group of 3 medications that are all quite different from one another and we call them the “other” or “miscellaneous” medications. The meds in this category are Propofol (Driprovan), Dexmetatomadine (Precedex) and Ketamine. We talk about the unique properties of each of these medications, show the special cases which make each of these different medications ideal in certain cases.
    Hopefully after watching this lesson you will have a good basis of understanding of the different categories of ICU sedation medications, as well as the medications that are a part of each category and some of the defining characteristics of each and how they all differ from one another, yet are often used for the same purposes.

      Thank you so much! I actually really want to do ACLS, but the problem is that it is licensed content.

    Thanks for educating us and bringing up the blood levels it's interesting to see how certain meds change a person's internal chemistry. I have never seen a triglyceride blood test performed for outpatient propofol sedation during dental procedures or in oral surgeons' general anaesthetics. Maybe this will be a new requirement for office and hospital-based Anaesthesia.

      Not really necessary to monitor triglycerides for short term use. More for longer duration infusions, like days.

    Hi, can you explain the role of fentanyl in terms of sedation? I have sometimes seen fentanyl used with versed or fentanyl with propofol? Thanks

    • @ICUAdvantage
      @ICUAdvantage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So our pain meds work synergistically with our sedation and together can lead to decreased usage of both. The main takeaway though is that when patients are sedated, it obviously becomes hard to determine if they have pain, thus we have to look at vitals and other indicators to try and determine if they have pain. Especially for things that we would expect pain, we should expect to have pain meds along with sedation.

    Hey Eddie new ICU nurse here, I recently had a patient going through severe ETOH withdrawal on a vent on multiple sedation drips. I know our RASS goal is normally 0 to -1 sometimes -2 or as ordered by our physicians, but for this patient I had difficulty titrating to a RASS that would keep them on track to a RASS closer to -1 while preventing them from awaking to a RASS of 2(agitation). In these moments, to prevent self-extubation and other harm to the patient, would a higher level of sedation to a RASS of -3 or -4 be acceptable since every moment of wakefulness the patient is agitated?

    • @ICUAdvantage
      @ICUAdvantage  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah there's definitely times that we how lower RASS goals for these patients, but depending on how easily they are awaking to agitation, one could also argue they maybe really aren't a -1.

      @ICUAdvantage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Really depends. If theres no physiological reason to have them at a certain level, then ideally we'd like 0. Awake, alert and calm. But not everyone can tolerate this so really the closest to zero with the patients comfort and then physiological considerations in mind. -1 to -2 is common.

      @marilynNV 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like to reduce sedation to the minimum a patient can tolerate, but some of my collegues think its cruel and will turn up the drips to make the patient sleep. The result is a longer readaptation process, am i right? And increased Risk of delirium, wich should be avoided at all cost in my opinion.

    • @ruthanna4713
      @ruthanna4713 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@marilynNV that really depends on the patient's condition and presenting pathology. And depends highly on which kind of sedative you have running. If you want a patient to be alert but it is necessary to run relaxants, it certainly would be cruel. Being awake, but not being able to move is not fun. The half vivid state of RASS - 2 to - 3 is also a tough one to go through, if you are confused and stressed out because of it. Something that can be an early indication of delirium, e.g. coming out of long trauma surgery, with prolonged low cerebral perfusion. It really depends.

    What are the chances that one can suffer sedation overdose from the hospital in ICU. I have a sneaky suspicion that my husband lost his life this way a week ago? Do I insist on an autopsy or will his medical records show this?

    • @ridsy9342
      @ridsy9342 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      this is very unlikely as a classic overdose is characterized by respiratory failure. In the ICU, patients sedated are mechanically ventilated through an artificial and secure airway also know as the ETT or breathing tube. The ventilator usually is set at a specific respiratory rate which would prevent this from happening. Now overdose scientifically refers to drug toxicity, which would also be shown in autopsy. You could request toxicity screens if you would like; however, this would also reflect on the patient’s labs since organ failure(s) would be present and practitioners would see clear signs. In other words, this is all very unlikely.
