Podcast #279: Sedation After Intubation
Show: Emergency Medical Minute
Author: Aaron Lessen, M.D.
Educational Pearls
- Post-intubation care should always include pain control and adequate sedation.
- Commonly used sedation agents include propofol, ketamine and versed.
- However, too much sedation is harmful. Deep sedation (RASS -4 to -5) is associated with worse long-term outcomes. RASS of 0 to -2 is ideal, as long as the patient is comfortable.
