NRNP 6566 Week 8 Knowledge Check. Questions & Answers.
What type of ICU sedation would be appropriate for a 32 year old male patient who is intubated with bilateral chest tube following a motor vehicle crash. Correct Answer: The Society of Critical Care Medicine publishes a guideline on sedation. It is: Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Pain, Agitation/Sedation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep Disruption in Adult Patients in the ICU (2018). Light sedation is suggested for intubated ICU patients. Non-benzodiazepine sedatives (either propofol or dexmedetomidine) are preferable to benzodiazepine sedatives (either midazolam or lorazepam) in critically ill, mechanically ventilated adults.
