💣Post-Intubation Sedation and Analgesia - #MEDSHED


🤽 As you go through your Six P's of RSI, post-intubation management should be the last thing that comes to mind. This would include post-intubation sedation and analgesia.


📭 It is crucial to ensure patient has adequate analgesia on board prior to uptitrating sedation. Oversedating a patient without addressing their pain may mask the overall clinical picture.


💉 You'll likely be working with fentanyl and propofol initially, and then additional sedatives. Deep sedation has been associated with worse outcomes. Note that dexmedetomidine does not have anticonvulsant properties.
