• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Although guideline recommendations should direct decision-making, medication shortages and patient-specific characteristics may require clinicians to explore alternative analgesic and sedative strategies. High-quality care and decision-making at the bedside that incorporates available data, considers insights from all healthcare team members, and attends to patient needs are essential to providing individualized analgosedation that afford patients their best opportunities for beneficial outcomes.
