Evidence-based guideline for pain assessment, sedation management, delirium prevention and treatment, early mobility, and sleep promotion in the ICU — the PADIS/ABCDEF bundle approach.
PADIS management in special populations including post-operative, neurological injury, substance withdrawal (alcohol/CIWA, opioid/COWS), ECMO and CRRT dosing adjustments, plus quality metrics, bundle compliance measurement, and implementation strategies.
Comprehensive sedation assessment (RASS, SAS complete scoring tables), light sedation targets, sedative agent pharmacology and dosing (propofol, dexmedetomidine, midazolam, ketamine), propofol infusion syndrome, daily sedation interruption protocols, and nurse-driven sedation algorithms.
The ABCDEF bundle framework for ICU liberation, comprehensive pain assessment tools (BPS, CPOT, NRS) with complete scoring tables, and evidence-based analgesic management including opioid dosing, non-opioid adjuncts, and multimodal protocols.
Evidence-based standards for safe administration of moderate sedation and analgesia through intravenous infusion, covering clinician competency, pharmacologic agents, preprocedural assessment, airway management, continuous monitoring, capnography, post-procedure recovery, and quality improvement.
