Sedation , analgesia & paralysis

The document discusses guidelines for sedation, analgesia, and paralysis in the ICU. It notes that 50% of ICU patients experience agitation due to pain, delirium, anxiety, or sleep deprivation. Up to 70% of ICU patients have some recall of their time in the ICU, which can cause anxiety, fear, or PTSD. The optimal level of sedation allows for patient comfort while allowing interaction. Protocols for daily awakening and sedation titration can reduce length of stay, need for tracheostomies, and diagnostic evaluations. Validated scales like the Ramsay Sedation Scale and Sedation-Agitation Scale can help assess sedation levels, while the Numeric Rating Scale and Visual Analog Scale assess pain.

Objectives Guidelines for sedation, analgesia, and chemical paralysis Benefits of daily awakening/lightening and sedation titration programs Rational pharmacologic strategy based on treatment goals and co morbidities
What We Know About ICU Agitation/Discomfort? Prevalence • 50% incidence in those with length of stay > 24 hours Primary causes • Unrelieved pain • Delirium • Anxiety • Sleep deprivation.
ICU Agitation/Discomfort sequelae
Recall in the ICU Some degree of recall occurs in up to 70% of ICU patients. • Anxiety, fear, pain, panic, agony, or nightmares reported in 90% of those who did have recall. Potentially cruel: • Up to 36% recalled some aspect of paralysis. Associated with PTSD in ARDS? • 41% risk of recall of two or more traumatic experiences. Associated with PTSD in cardiac surgery
Appropriate Recall May be Important Factual memories help to put ICU experience into perspective Delusional memories cause panic attacks and PTSD The optimal level of sedation for most patients - Offers comfort while allowing for interaction with the environment.
Why sedation in ICU? • Anxiety • Pain • Acute confusional status • Mechanical ventilation • Treatment or diagnostic procedures • Psychological response to stress
Sedation Goal • Patient comfort • Control of pain • Anxiolysis and amnesia • Blunting adverse autonomic and hemodynamic responses • Facilitate nursing management • Facilitate mechanical ventilation • Avoid self-extubation • Reduce oxygen consumption
Ideal sedation agents • No respiratory depression • Analgesia • Rapid onset, titratable, with a short elimination half-time • Sedation with ease of orientation and arousability • Anxiolytic • Hemodynamic stability
The Challenges • Assessment of sedation • Altered pharmacology • Tolerance • Delayed emergence • Withdrawal • Drug interaction
Sedation Causes for Agitation Sedatives
Undersedation Sedatives Causes for Agitation Agitation & anxiety Pain and discomfort Catheter displacement Inadequate ventilation Hypertension Tachycardia Arrhythmias Myocardial ischemia Wound disruption Patient injury
Oversedation Sedatives Causes for Agitation Prolonged sedation Delayed emergence Respiratory depression Hypotension Bradycardia Increased protein breakdown Muscle atrophy Venous stasis Pressure injury Loss of patient-staff interaction Increased cost
Reversible Causes of Agitation • Full bladder • Uncomfortable bed position • Inadequate ventilator flow rates • Mental illness • Uremia • Drug side effects • Disorientation • Sleep deprivation • Noise • Inability to communicate
Life threatening Causes • Hypoxia • Hypercarbia • Hypoglycemia • Endotracheal tube malposition • Pneumothorax • Myocardial ischemia • Abdominal pain • Drug and alcohol withdrawal
Daily Goal is Arousable, Comfortable Sedation Effect of this strategy on outcomes: • One- to seven-day reduction in length of sedation and mechanical ventilation needs • 50% reduction in tracheostomies • Three-fold reduction in the need for diagnostic evaluation of CNS Sedation needs to be protocolized and titrated to goal: •Lighten sedation to appropriate wakefulness daily.
Protocols and Assessment Tools Sedation o Validated sedation assessment tools (Ramsay Sedation Scale [RSS], o Sedation-Agitation Scale [SAS] o Richmond Sedation-agitation Scale [RSAS] No evidence that one is preferred over another Pain o Numeric rating scale [NRS] o Visual analogue scale [VAS] Pain assessment tools - none validated in ICU
Sedation/Analgesia ICU Rule out reversible causes of discomfort/anxiety such as hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and toxic/drug side effect. Assess co-morbidities and potential side effects of drugs chosen. Target irreversible etiologies of pain and agitation.
Strategies for Patient Comfort • Set treatment goal • Quantitate sedation and pain • Choose the right medication • Use combined infusion • Reevaluate need • Treat withdrawal

How to Sedate ? • Benzodiazepines • Propofol • -2 agonists Sedatives- Options
Benzodiazepines (Midazolam & Lorazepam) Anxiolysis Amnesia Sedation Pharmacokinetics/dynamics •Lorazepam: onset 5 - 10 minutes, half-life 10 hours, glucuronidated •Midazolam: onset 1 - 2 minutes, half-life 3 hours, metabolized by cytochrome P450, active metabolite (1- OH) accumulates in renal disease Benefits
Benzodiazepines (Midazolam & Lorazepam) • Delirium • NO analgesia • Excessive sedation: especially after long-term sustained use • Propylene glycol toxicity (parenteral lorazepam) - Significance uncertain - Evaluate when a patient has unexplained acidosis - In alcoholics (due to doses used) and renal failure • Respiratory failure (concurrent opiate use) • Withdrawal
Propofol Pharmacology: GABA agonist Pharmacokinetics/ dynamics: onset 1 - 2 minutes, terminal half-life 6 hours, duration 10 minutes, hepatic metabolism Benefits Rapid onset &Offset Hypnotic and Antiemetic Reduce ICP OPTION 2
Propofol • No amnesia- especially at low doses • NO analgesia! • Hypotension • Hypertriglyceridemia; lipid source (1.1 kcal/ml) • Respiratory depression • Propofol Infusion Syndrome
• Cardiac failure, rhabdomyolysis, severe metabolic acidosis, and renal failure • Caution : at a doses > 80 mcg/kg/min for more than 48 hours • Problematic when used simultaneously in patient receiving catecholamines and/or steroids P O P O F O L I N F U S I O N Syndrome
Propofol Dosing • 3-5 g/kg/min antiemetic • 5-20 g/kg/min anxiolytic • 20-50 g/kg/min sedative hypnotic • >100 g/kg/min anesthetic
Dexmedetomidine Alpha-2- adrenergic agonist Decrease the need for other sedation Useful while decreasing other sedatives to prevent withdrawal Rapid onset Benefits No Respiratory depression Sympatholytic action Option -3
Dexmedetomidine No Amnesia Excessive awareness Bradycardia ,Hypotension
Alpha-2 Receptors Brain (locus ceruleus) Spinal Cord Peripheral vasculature Sedation Anxiolysis Sympatholysis Analgesia Vasoconstriction
DEX: Dosing Maintenance infusion 0.2-0.7 g/kg/hr
Sample Sedation Protocol Sedation-agitation Scale Riker RR et al. Crit Care Med. 1999;27:1325.
Use Continuous and Combined Infusion Plasma Level Load Maintenance
Repeated Bolus Plasma levels
Choose the Right Drug Sedation Analgesia Amnesia Hypnosis Anxiolysis Propofol BenPzaotideinatz eCpoinmefsort -2 agonists Opioids
Neuromuscular Blockade (NMB) Caution • NO ANALGESIC or SEDATIVE properties • Add sedation with amnestic effect . • Analgesic as needed • Never use without the ability to establish and/or maintain a definitive airway with ventilation • If administering for prolonged period (> 6 - 12 hours), use an objective monitor to assess degree of paralysis. Used most often acutely (single dose) to facilitate intubation or selected procedures
NMB Limited use because of risk of prolonged weakness and other complications Maximize sedative/analgesic infusions as much as possible prior to adding neuromuscular blockade Current concepts
NMB • Facilitate mechanical ventilation [abdominal compartment syndrome, high airway pressures, and dyssynchrony] • High Frequency Ventilation, Prone ventilation • Elevated intracranial pressures • Reduce oxygen consumption • Prevent muscle spasm [neuroleptic malignant syndrome, tetanus, etc.] • Protect surgical wounds or medical device placement When to Use it?
NMB agents •Depolarizers Two classes •Non depolarizers
NMB agents • Succhinylcholine is the only drug in this class • Depolarization (fasciculations) and desensitization of the motor endplate • Motor Paralysis Depolarizers Prolonged binding to acetylcholine receptor
NMB Agents • Benzylisoquinoliniums • Curare Atracurium, Cisatracurium, Mivacurium, Doxacuronium • Aminosteroids • Pancuronium, Vecuronium, Rococuronium Non depolarizers Competitive inhibitors of postsynaptic receptors
NMB Agents for intubation Rocuronium • Onset -45 seconds • Nondepolarizer with about an hour duration and 10% renal elimination • Dose is 1.2 mg/kg Succinylcholine • Onset 30 seconds • Duration of 10 minutes • All or none train of four after administration due to desensitization • prolonged in patients with abnormal plasma cholinesterase • Dose is 1 - 2 mg/kg Need rapid onset paralysis Not usually used for continuous maintenance infusions
Succinylcholine Severe K+ releases • Denervation injury • Stroke • Trauma • Burns of more than 24 hours Problems •Potassium release- 0.5 to 1 meq/liter •Bradycardia •Increases intra gastric, ocular and cranial pressures •Anaphylaxis •Muscle pain
NDMR •Pancuronium - tachycardia •Vecuronium - renally excreted active metabolites •Elimination of cisatracurium is not affected by organ dysfunction Infusion doses •Pancuronium 0.05 - 0.1 mg/kg/h •Vecuronium 0.05 - 0.1 mg/kg/h •Cisatracurium 0.03 - 0.6 mg/kg/h
Monitoring NMBAs Methods: •NMBA dose reduction or cessation once daily if possible • Clinical evaluation: Assess skeletal muscle movement and respiratory effort •Peripheral nerve stimulation To prevent prolonged weakness associated with excessive NMBA administration
Monitoring NMBAs • Train of four response consists of four stimulae of 2 Hz, 0.2 msec in duration, and 500 msec apart. • Comparison of T4 (4th twitch) and T1 with a fade in strength means that 75% of receptors are blocked. • Only T1 or T1 and 2 is used for goal in ICU and indicates up to 90% of receptors are blocked. Peripheral nerve stimulation
Complications of NMB Agents Associated with inactivity: • Muscle wasting, deconditioning, decubitus ulcers, corneal drying Associated with inability to assess patient: • Recall, unrelieved pain, acute neurologic event, anxiety
Complications of NMB Agents Associated with loss of respiratory function: • Asphyxiation from ventilator malfunction or accidental extubation, atelectasis, pneumonia Other: • Prolonged paralysis or acute NMBA related myopathy - Related to decreased membrane excitability or even muscle necrosis - Risk can be compounded by concurrent use of steroids.
Monitoring Sedation During Paralysis • Bispectral index • Titrating to appropriate sedation to the least amount required, not proven to achieve the goal. • Potential for baseline neurologic deficit and EEG interference in ICU patients
Monitoring Sedation During Paralysis… No randomized controlled studies to support reliable use in ICU. Other neuromonitoring (awareness) modalities are likely to be developed. Cessation of NMB as soon as safe in conjunction with other patient parameters should be a daily consideration.
Sample NMBA Protocol
ICU Delirium Seen in > 50% of ICU patients Three times higher risk of death by six months Four times greater frequency of medical device removal Nine times higher incidence of cognitive impairment at hospital discharge
Delirium 1.Acute onset of mental status changes or a fluctuating course & 2. Inattention & or Courtesy of W Ely, MD 3. Disorganized Thinking 4. Altered level of consciousness
Risk Factors for Delirium Primary CNS Dx Infection Metabolic derangement Pain Sleep deprivation Age Substances including tobacco (withdrawal as well as direct effect)
Diagnostic Tools: ICU Routine monitoring recommended • Confusion Assessment Method (CAM-ICU) or Delirium Screening Checklist (DSC) Requires Patient Participation • Cognitive Test for Delirium • Abbreviated Cognitive Test for Delirium • CAM-ICU Ely. JAMA. 2001;286: 2703-2710.
Delirium Screening Checklist No Patient Participation • Delirium Screening Checklist Bergeron. Intensive Care Med. 2001;27:859.
Treatment of Delirium Correct inciting factor Control symptoms? • No evidence that treatment reduces duration and severity of symptoms • Typical and atypical antipsychotic agents • Sedatives? - Particularly in combination with antipsychotic and for drug/alcohol withdrawal delirium No treatment FDA approved
Haloperidol The good: • Hemodynamic neutrality • No effect on respiratory drive The bad: • QTc prolongation and torsades de pointes • Neuoroleptic malignant syndrome • Extrapyramidal side effects
Atypical Antipsychotics: Mechanism of action unknown Less movement disorders than haloperidol Enhanced effects on both positive (agitation) and negative (quiet) symptoms Quetiapine Olanzapine Risperidone Ziprasidone
Efficacy = haloperidol? • Lack of available IV formulation • Troublesome reports of CVAs, hyperglycemia, NMS • Titratability hampered QTc prolongation with ziprasidone IM - Hypotension with olanzapine IM Atypical Antipsychotics:
Summary • Patient discomfort in ICU should be addressed appropriately and seriously • Protocol based practice will bring up excellent results. • Assess and Manage Sedation and Analgesia • Paralysis should be restricted to indicated cases • Address delirium and withdrawals

Sedation , analgesia & paralysis

  • 1.
    Sedation , Analgesia& Paralysis in ICU Dr.Venugopalan.P.P DA,DNB,MNAMS Chief, Emergency Medicine –MIMS Site Director ,Masters program in EM Executive director ,Angels international foundation
  • 2.
    Objectives Guidelines forsedation, analgesia, and chemical paralysis Benefits of daily awakening/lightening and sedation titration programs Rational pharmacologic strategy based on treatment goals and co morbidities
  • 3.
    What We KnowAbout ICU Agitation/Discomfort? Prevalence • 50% incidence in those with length of stay > 24 hours Primary causes • Unrelieved pain • Delirium • Anxiety • Sleep deprivation.
  • 4.
  • 5.
    Recall in theICU Some degree of recall occurs in up to 70% of ICU patients. • Anxiety, fear, pain, panic, agony, or nightmares reported in 90% of those who did have recall. Potentially cruel: • Up to 36% recalled some aspect of paralysis. Associated with PTSD in ARDS? • 41% risk of recall of two or more traumatic experiences. Associated with PTSD in cardiac surgery
  • 6.
    Appropriate Recall Maybe Important Factual memories help to put ICU experience into perspective Delusional memories cause panic attacks and PTSD The optimal level of sedation for most patients - Offers comfort while allowing for interaction with the environment.
  • 7.
    Why sedation inICU? • Anxiety • Pain • Acute confusional status • Mechanical ventilation • Treatment or diagnostic procedures • Psychological response to stress
  • 8.
    Sedation Goal •Patient comfort • Control of pain • Anxiolysis and amnesia • Blunting adverse autonomic and hemodynamic responses • Facilitate nursing management • Facilitate mechanical ventilation • Avoid self-extubation • Reduce oxygen consumption
  • 9.
    Ideal sedation agents • No respiratory depression • Analgesia • Rapid onset, titratable, with a short elimination half-time • Sedation with ease of orientation and arousability • Anxiolytic • Hemodynamic stability
  • 10.
    The Challenges •Assessment of sedation • Altered pharmacology • Tolerance • Delayed emergence • Withdrawal • Drug interaction
  • 11.
    Sedation Causes forAgitation Sedatives
  • 12.
    Undersedation Sedatives Causesfor Agitation Agitation & anxiety Pain and discomfort Catheter displacement Inadequate ventilation Hypertension Tachycardia Arrhythmias Myocardial ischemia Wound disruption Patient injury
  • 13.
    Oversedation Sedatives Causesfor Agitation Prolonged sedation Delayed emergence Respiratory depression Hypotension Bradycardia Increased protein breakdown Muscle atrophy Venous stasis Pressure injury Loss of patient-staff interaction Increased cost
  • 14.
    Reversible Causes ofAgitation • Full bladder • Uncomfortable bed position • Inadequate ventilator flow rates • Mental illness • Uremia • Drug side effects • Disorientation • Sleep deprivation • Noise • Inability to communicate
  • 15.
    Life threatening Causes • Hypoxia • Hypercarbia • Hypoglycemia • Endotracheal tube malposition • Pneumothorax • Myocardial ischemia • Abdominal pain • Drug and alcohol withdrawal
  • 16.
    Daily Goal is Arousable, Comfortable Sedation Effect of this strategy on outcomes: • One- to seven-day reduction in length of sedation and mechanical ventilation needs • 50% reduction in tracheostomies • Three-fold reduction in the need for diagnostic evaluation of CNS Sedation needs to be protocolized and titrated to goal: •Lighten sedation to appropriate wakefulness daily.
  • 17.
    Protocols and AssessmentTools Sedation o Validated sedation assessment tools (Ramsay Sedation Scale [RSS], o Sedation-Agitation Scale [SAS] o Richmond Sedation-agitation Scale [RSAS] No evidence that one is preferred over another Pain o Numeric rating scale [NRS] o Visual analogue scale [VAS] Pain assessment tools - none validated in ICU
  • 18.
    Sedation/Analgesia ICU Ruleout reversible causes of discomfort/anxiety such as hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and toxic/drug side effect. Assess co-morbidities and potential side effects of drugs chosen. Target irreversible etiologies of pain and agitation.
  • 19.
    Strategies for PatientComfort • Set treatment goal • Quantitate sedation and pain • Choose the right medication • Use combined infusion • Reevaluate need • Treat withdrawal
  • 20.

    Monitoring NMBAs •Train of four response consists of four stimulae of 2 Hz, 0.2 msec in duration, and 500 msec apart. • Comparison of T4 (4th twitch) and T1 with a fade in strength means that 75% of receptors are blocked. • Only T1 or T1 and 2 is used for goal in ICU and indicates up to 90% of receptors are blocked. Peripheral nerve stimulation
  • 73.
    Complications of NMBAgents Associated with inactivity: • Muscle wasting, deconditioning, decubitus ulcers, corneal drying Associated with inability to assess patient: • Recall, unrelieved pain, acute neurologic event, anxiety
  • 74.
    Complications of NMBAgents Associated with loss of respiratory function: • Asphyxiation from ventilator malfunction or accidental extubation, atelectasis, pneumonia Other: • Prolonged paralysis or acute NMBA related myopathy - Related to decreased membrane excitability or even muscle necrosis - Risk can be compounded by concurrent use of steroids.
  • 75.
    Monitoring Sedation DuringParalysis • Bispectral index • Titrating to appropriate sedation to the least amount required, not proven to achieve the goal. • Potential for baseline neurologic deficit and EEG interference in ICU patients
  • 76.
    Monitoring Sedation DuringParalysis… No randomized controlled studies to support reliable use in ICU. Other neuromonitoring (awareness) modalities are likely to be developed. Cessation of NMB as soon as safe in conjunction with other patient parameters should be a daily consideration.

    Treatment of Delirium Correct inciting factor Control symptoms? • No evidence that treatment reduces duration and severity of symptoms • Typical and atypical antipsychotic agents • Sedatives? - Particularly in combination with antipsychotic and for drug/alcohol withdrawal delirium No treatment FDA approved
  • 86.
    Haloperidol The good: • Hemodynamic neutrality • No effect on respiratory drive The bad: • QTc prolongation and torsades de pointes • Neuoroleptic malignant syndrome • Extrapyramidal side effects
  • 87.
    Atypical Antipsychotics: Mechanismof action unknown Less movement disorders than haloperidol Enhanced effects on both positive (agitation) and negative (quiet) symptoms Quetiapine Olanzapine Risperidone Ziprasidone
  • 88.
    Efficacy = haloperidol? • Lack of available IV formulation • Troublesome reports of CVAs, hyperglycemia, NMS • Titratability hampered QTc prolongation with ziprasidone IM - Hypotension with olanzapine IM Atypical Antipsychotics:

    Summary • Patientdiscomfort in ICU should be addressed appropriately and seriously • Protocol based practice will bring up excellent results. • Assess and Manage Sedation and Analgesia • Paralysis should be restricted to indicated cases • Address delirium and withdrawals
