The cultural assumption that everyone would rather be sedated is based on the myth that sedation is "sleep". Very few survivors can give us a comparison of being sedated vs. being awake while intubated. Lara, like Susan in episode 3, Caleigh in episode 117, and Mark in episode 87, has had it both ways and shares with us the contrast.

Episode 135: The Contrast Between Awake and Sedated

Kali Dayton, DNP, ACNP-BC, is an ICU nurse practitioner and consultant on a mission to create Awake and Walking ICUs. She hands the microphone to ICU survivors and bedside caregivers to reveal the realities of ICU experience and patients' journeys after discharge. The big picture of sedation and immobility is discussed and we explore how to improve short and long-term patient outcomes. We shift the vision from transferring out of the ICU to walking straight home after the ICU. www.DaytonICUconsulting.com
