Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Continuous infusions of sedative and analgesic medications are used in the ICU to manage pain, agitation, and delirium or to allow for mechanical ventilation and other procedures. The SCCM PADIS guidelines recommend using the least amount of medication needed to achieve light sedation and suggest using an assessment-driven, protocol-based approach to manage pain and sedation in critically ill adults. This QI research project was completed to reduce exposure to sedative and analgesic medications by implementing a nurse-driven protocol.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation to be awarded contact hours AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
