Description

Are patients sleeping during medically-induced comas?
Are they more comfortable and free of trauma while sedated?
Can patients hear, feel, and understand their surroundings while in a medically-induced coma?
Do patients know when sedation is turn up higher? Do they know which providers will let them wake up and which ones will try to "turn you off"?
Drew Brophy is a world-renown artist that found himself intubated with COVID19. Drew and Maria Brophy share their astounding journey through critical illness and post-ICU syndrome.

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
