Implementation of a multiphase, multi-institutional QI initiative to optimise sedation practices in cardiac ICU patients

We report that our newly developed learning module intervention was effective in increasing short-term knowledge about optimal sedation and sedation scoring. Ongoing phase two efforts include evaluation of long-term compliance of validated sedation screening tools and developing an objective score to measure individual cumulative opioid dosing in the cardiac critical care unit.

Abstract

We report that our newly developed learning module intervention was effective in increasing short-term knowledge about optimal sedation and sedation scoring. Ongoing phase two efforts include evaluation of long-term compliance of validated sedation screening tools and developing an objective score to measure individual cumulative opioid dosing in the cardiac critical care unit.
