Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if the Nursing Instrument for the Communication of Sedation (NICS) yield more accurate or appropriate sedation assessment than individual nursing judgment in an effort to build support for its use as a sedation assessment tool among adults in general medical ICU’s that are mechanically ventilated. Accuracy of the NICS on Sedation Assessment Design: Quasi experimental Setting: Level II Trauma center Population: Adult general Medical ICU patients Methods/Measurements: Spearman’s Rho (rs)
Chapter 1: Introduction to the Study
Introduction
Many times patients in general medical intensive care units (ICU) need mechanical ventilation support. The 2002 clinical practice guidelines of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) for the sustained use of analgesics and sedatives are geared toward the preservation of optimal comfort for critically ill patients by concentrating on pain and
