Description

For decades, we have culturally passed on the myth that patients are sleeping while sedated into medically induced comas. We have assured ourselves and each other that sedation "prevents PTSD".
Research has proven that sedation makes true restorative sleep impossible and real recall of the reality of the ICU is protective against post-ICU PTSD.
So what is really happening under sedation? If patients are not in sweet oblivion and restful slumber, what is their reality?
Chuck Evans joins us to share his startling story of being sedated and sleepless for weeks in the ICU.

Kali Dayton, DNP, ACNP-BC, is an ICU nurse practitioner and ICU consultant. She hands the microphone to ICU survivors and bedside caregivers to reveal the realities of ICU experience and patients' journeys after discharge. The big picture of sedation and immobility is discussed and we explore how to improve short and long-term patient outcomes. We shift the vision from transferring out of the ICU to walking straight home after the ICU. www.DaytonICUconsulting.com Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/restoringlife/support
