| Scale | Range | Target in most ICU patients |
|---|---|---|
| Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) | -5 to +4 | -1 to 0 (light sedation) |
| Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale (SAS) | 1-7 | 3-4 (sedated-calm) |
| Drug | Half-life | IV Dose (infusion) | Key Concerns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Midazolam | 3 h | 0.04-0.2 mg/kg/h | Accumulates in renal/hepatic failure; prolonged sedation |
| Lorazepam | 8 h | 0.01-0.1 mg/kg/h | Propylene glycol toxicity with prolonged infusion; nephrotoxicity |
| Letter | Component |
|---|---|
| A | Assess, prevent, manage Pain (analgesia-first) |
| B | Both SAT and SBT (spontaneous awakening + breathing trials) |
| C | Choice of analgesia and sedation (light sedation, avoid benzodiazepines) |
| D | Delirium: assess, prevent, manage |
| E | Early mobility and Exercise |
| F | Family engagement and empowerment |
Key 2025/2026 Guideline Updates to Remember:
- The 2025 SCCM PADIS update now recommends dexmedetomidine over propofol for light sedation in mechanically ventilated adults.
- Antipsychotics (haloperidol) are no longer recommended for ICU delirium treatment (insufficient evidence for benefit).
- Anxiety is now a distinct PADIS domain - use non-pharmacological interventions first.
- Ketamine adjunct use (not monotherapy) is conditionally supported for analgosedation in mechanically ventilated patients (2025 Practice Guideline).
- The A2B RCT (JAMA 2025) provides the highest-quality contemporary RCT evidence for dexmedetomidine vs. propofol.
