Video Summary
In this video transcript, the speaker discusses various adjuncts and opioid sparing techniques for pain management in the ICU. While opioids still play a role in acute pain, there is a challenge in managing patients with chronic opioid use. It is important to calculate the appropriate dosage for these patients and monitor for signs of withdrawal. Other treatments such as tricyclic antidepressants and SSRIs are mainly used for chronic pain but have undesirable side effects for ICU patients. Multimodal analgesia, which involves targeting multiple receptors in the brain, can help improve pain control and reduce side effects. Common adjuncts include acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and gabapentinoids. Non-pharmacological treatments like music therapy, acupuncture, TENS, and massage can also be beneficial.
