The ABCs of Analgosedation: Building Blocks for Success (Paul M. Szumita, PharmD, FASHP, BCCCP, BCPS, FCCM)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the concept of analogous sedation in critically ill patients, focusing on the pharmacological considerations, evidence-based outcomes, and supportive care regimens. Pain management is crucial in the ICU as up to 80% of patients experience moderate to severe pain. Chronic pain can develop post-ICU stay, affecting up to 50-80% of survivors. The transcript delves into the importance of individualized pain management goals and multimodal analgesia to optimize patient outcomes. It also explores the use of opioids, rotation of medications, and non-pharmacological strategies in pain management. Additionally, it touches on the opioid epidemic, transitions of care considerations, and the need for further research to optimize analogous sedation in critically ill patients.
