1 Sedation, Analgesia and Paralytics in the ICU

2 What is used for what? Analgesic Sedative Paralytic Pain control
Always should be first before sedation Sedative Achieve sedation, anxiolysis, amnesia, altered consciousness Paralytic Prevents movement Never should be used without analgesia and sedation

3 Sedatives

4 Sedatives Etomidate Propofol Ketamine Dexmedetomidine

5 Etomidate Used mostly for Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI)
GABA like effects Minimal effect on BP; can lower ICP Can reduce plasma cortisol levels Hepatic metabolism; renally excreted Dose 0.3mg/kg for RSI

6 Propofol Anesthetic agent
Respiratory and CV depressant  can drop BP by as much as 30% Vasodilation and negative inotropic effect PRIS Dose is 1-1.5mg/kg for RSI For ICU sedation: 5-50mcg/kg/min

7 Ketamine Anesthetic and dissociative agent Also has analgesic effect
Hepatic metabolism Can cause laryngeal spasm, hypertension Psychomimetic effects given with benzo 1-2mg/kg for RSI 5-15mcg/kg/min for sedations

8 Benzodiazepenes: GABA agonists
Lorazepam Midazolam Better choice for elderly and hepatic/renal dysfunction Propylene glycol diluent – risk of metabolic acidosis mg/kg/hr and 1-2mg IVP Has an active metabolite .02-.2mg/kg/hr and 2-4mg IVP

9 Dexmedetomidine Recommended first line sedative for intubated pts*
Central alpha-2 agonist Hepatically metabolized Renally excreted 95% unchanged Dosed mcg/kg/hr Can cause bradycardia and hypotension Does NOT cause respiratory depression Has analgesic component *Per PAD (pain, agitation, sedation guidelines from society of critical care medicine)

10 Analgesics

11 Analgesics Always treat pain before giving sedation or paralytics
Not all patients requires analgesic infusion as PRN dosing can be just as effective If able, evaluate your interventions to ensure pain level reduced

12 Analgesics Causes histamine release  itching
Fentanyl Morphine 80-100x more potent than morphine Bolus: 1mcg/kg q5 minutes Infusion 0.5-3mcg/kg/hr Can cause rigid chest, hypotension Causes histamine release  itching Bolus .3mg/kg q10 minutes Infusion: mg/kg/hr

13 Analgesics 1.5mg hydromorphone = 15mg morphine
Hydrocodone 1.5mg hydromorphone = 15mg morphine T1/2 2-3 hours; duration 4-5hours Oral/enteral formula Usually combined with acetaminophen 25mg hydrocodone = 10mg morphine T½ 4 hours; duration 4-8 hours

14 Paralytics

15 Paralytics Never use without analgesia and sedation
Used to facilitate intubation (rapid sequence intubation) Also used in patients with severe pulmonary dysfunction on mechanical ventilation Cisatricurium most commonly used for infusions

16 Assessing Degree of Paralysis: Train of Four
Goal of TOF usually 2 twitches About 80% receptors inactive) 4 twitches = 0-75% of receptors blocked Sites: Ulnar nerve, facial nerve, posterior tibial Start at 10mA and increase until twitches seen If no twitches seen, check different site

17 Paralytics Succinylcholine Vecuronium Rocuronium Cisatricurium

18 Succinylcholine Only depolarizing NMB
Avoid in hyperkalemia, 24 hour post major burn, neuromuscular disease, patients with several days of ICU critical illness Onset in 60 seconds and lasts around 5 minutes 1-1.5mg/kg for RSI dosing

19 Rocuronium Nondepolarizing
Onset about 90 seconds and last minutes Lasts longer in those with hepatic impairment Dose is 0.6-1mg/kg Effect is dose dependent

20 Vecuronium Similar to rocuronium Slower onset time (up to 4 minutes)
Lasts minutes mg-kg

21 Cisatricurium Bolus: .15-.2mg/kg
Infusion: 1-10mcg/kg/min based on train-of-four T1/2 about 20 minutes Metabolism by Hoffman degredation 4 twitches = 0-75% of receptors blocked
