We know that sedation causes and worsens ICU delirium, post-ICU PTSD, post-ICU dementia, and ICU-acquired weakness in adults. The research is vast and compelling. What does this mean for children? What does research reveal about the harm children suffer from drug-induced comas? Is there a different way to treat our children? Can we preserve their futures by changing our practices in the ICU? What will it take to protect our children? Dr. Kudchadkar shares her life-preserving research and practices.

Why is ICU-acquired weakness an independent predictor of mortality? What role does muscular atrophy play in multi-organ failure? When we unnecessarily sacrifice muscles for other organs, how badly do we damage patients’ chances to survive and thrive? Jereon Molinger, MSc, brings eye-opening information to the discussion.

We say we respect patient autonomy. We provide patients or families informed consent prior to intubation. Should patients and families be warned of the risks and repercussions of sedation and immobility? When sedation is nonessential, should patients be given the choice to be comatose or awake and moving? Photos, transcriptions, and citations at: www.DaytonICUConsulting.com @DaytonICUConsulting

For decades we have sedated patients with the belief that it is more humane to “sleep” through critical illness. Survivors have told us their experiences were not “sleep” to them. What do neurologists and researchers say about the quantity and quality of sleep during medically-induced comas? Dr. Williams Roberson shares with us her research and invaluable insights into sedation and sleep. Photos, transcriptions, and citations at: www.DaytonICUConsulting.com @DaytonICUConsulting
