I think the sort of big, the big takeaway from our discussion is: use sedation when it's needed and when it's needed, use as little as you can.
Ever wondered if there's a better way to handle intensive care? Mark Hudson, host of the 'ICU Life and Recovery Podcast', sits down with nurse practitioner and podcaster Kali Dayton to discuss an innovative approach to ICU care. This episode dives into the 'awake and walking' ICU model, a method that aims to keep patients alert and mobile, reducing the need for heavy sedation. Kali shares her passion for improving patient outcomes by minimizing sedation and encouraging early movement.
They chat about how this approach can prevent long-term complications like delirium and deconditioning, which often require lengthy rehabilitation. Kali emphasizes that preventing these issues in the first place is far more effective than treating them later. Their conversation also touches on the importance of proper staffing ratios and the role of occupational therapy in patient recovery. If you're curious about how ICU practices can evolve to better support patient health, this episode is a must-listen.
