SEDATION Online Webinars

Online

Target Audience

This activity is intended for anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, intensivists, CRNAs, ICU, CCU, SICU nurses, and hospital pharmacists who manage patients requiring sedation in intensive care and perioperative settings.

Statement of Need

Patients in intensive care or undergoing procedures frequently require pain management. Assessment of pain, sedation, agitation, and delirium with validated scales is a critical part of maintaining the balance between oversedation and undersedation. Recent results from patient management trials and from pharmaceutical clinical trials can enhance the practice of sedation and patient outcomes.

Educational Activity Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, the participants should be able to:

Manage adult patients who need sedation and analgesia while receiving ventilator support according to current standards and guidelines
Use validated scales for sedation, pain, agitation, and delirium in the management of these critically ill patients
Assess recent clinical findings in sedation and analgesia management and incorporate them into the management of patients in the acute care and procedural sedation settings
