  • Title: Sedation in the critically ill patient.
    Author: Durbin CG.
    Journal: New Horiz; 1994 Feb; 2(1):64-74. PubMed ID: 7922431.
    Abstract:
    Critically ill patients experience many unpleasant and frightening events while in an ICU. Appropriate concern for pain, discomfort, and anxiety is required from caregivers. The use of reassuring mannerisms, honest communication, and analgesics and sedatives, especially during therapeutic paralysis, improves patient comfort and reduces the morbidity rate. This article reviews the therapeutic options for sedation and experience with these agents in the critically ill.
