Podcast 575:  Light on the Sedation

Podcast 575: Light on the Sedation

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Studies have shown that patients who are under deeper sedation in the ICU have worse outcomes.
  • Recent study compared lighter vs heavier sedation of patients in the emergency department receiving mechanical ventilation
  • Patients receiving lighter sedation in the ED were often continued in the ICU
  • Patients who had lighter sedation also tended to do better, meaning less days on the ventilator, less days in the ICU, and lower mortality supporting prior observations.
  • Though purely observational, interesting suggestion that lighter sedation starting in the emergency department could have significant impact on important clinical outcomes
