Poor sedation management risks patient self-injury. A new protocol helps critical care nurses manage agitation in intubated patients, preventing self-extubation and improving safety.

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Nursing Practice
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Inadequate sedation in critically ill patients poses risks, including self-injury.
  • Self-extubation is a significant concern in intubated patients, potentially leading to adverse outcomes.

Observation:

  • Agitation in intubated patients can lead to unintended self-extubation.
  • Effective sedation management is crucial for preventing patient harm.

Findings:

  • A developed protocol provides a structured approach for managing sedation in intubated patients.
  • The protocol enables critical care nurses to effectively manage patient agitation.

Implications:

  • Implementation of this sedation management protocol can reduce the incidence of self-extubation.
