Podcast 702: Paralytic Awareness

Podcast 702: Paralytic Awareness

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Known risk factors for being awake and paralyzed in the OR include only receiving IV medications, long-acting paralytics, and no formal monitoring system for being awake
  • The ED-AWARENESS study, a prospective single-center study found 2.6% of patients with induced paralysis during mechanical ventilation were aware
  • Rocuronium was a risk factor for developing awareness while paralyzed in this study
  • Ensure adequate sedation during paralysis for mechanical ventilation in the ED setting, especially when using rocuronium
