Official title
Assessing Current Analgesia and Sedation Weaning Practices in Adult Critically Ill Patients
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Withdrawal from opioids and sedatives administered for medical purposes (i.e. iatrogenic withdrawal) often goes unrecognized in the critically ill, but its prevalence is high. Reports describing what is being implemented at the bedside to prevent iatrogenic withdrawal are lacking, and how patients are monitored and assessed for withdrawal has not been adequately studied. Therefore, the investigators overall objective is to determine the current analgesia and sedation weaning practices in adult ICUs. In order to accomplish this objective the investigators plan to conduct a prospective, observational, point prevalence trial. Data from this project will help support future investigation of iatrogenic withdrawal.
