Solace and Survival: Updates in PAD/Palliative Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses updates on sedation strategies and delirium management in COVID-19 patients. It highlights that COVID-19 ARDS patients require more sedation and have a higher need for IV benzodiazepines. In the case of drug shortages, inhaled anesthetics can be an alternative option. Light sedation in COVID-19 patients leads to better outcomes, such as shorter ventilation and ICU days, and lower mortality rate. However, adherence to sedation guidelines may have decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. A study on IV haloperidol for ICU delirium management shows no improvement in survival or delirium.
