  1. The Art of Sedation in ICU Yasser ZaghloulMD PhD, FCARCSI(Ireland)

  2. Sedation comes from the Latin word sedare. • Sedare = to calm or to allay fear Hypnosis Analgesia ± Muscle Relaxation

  3. Sedation comes from the Latin word sedare. • Sedare = to calm or to allay fear Hypnosis Analgesia ± Muscle Relaxation

  4. Why sedation is necessary? • To improve patient comfort. • Reduce stress. • Facilitate interventions. • Allow effective ventilation. • Encourage sleep. • ?? Prevent post-ICU psychosis.

  5. Inadequate Sedation • All ICU patients suffer from severe sleep deprivation. • REM sleep is 6% ( Normal 25 %). • Stress  neuroendocrine response ( ACTH, GH, Aldosterone, Adrenaline, .....) • Release of cytokines  inflammatory response.

  6. Non-pharmacological interventions • Good nursing. • Psychological: - Explanation. - Reassurance. • Physical: - Touching & message. - Environment - Prevent constipation - Physiotherapy. - Tracheostomy.

  7. Sedation-Analgesia Medications • IV Anaesthetics: - Prpofol - Thiopentone. - Ketamine - Etomidate. • Benzodiazepines: - Midazolam. - Lorazepam

  8. Sedation-Analgesia Medications • Opiodis: - Morphine - Fentanyl. - Remifentanil • α-2 receptors agonists: • Clonidine. • Dexmedetomidine .

  9. Sedation-Analgesia Medications • Others: - Inhalation anaesthetics (Sevoflurane). - Phenothiazines. - Butyrophenones (Haloperidol). - Local Anaesthetics.

  10. Choice of the sedative drug • Short-term Vs long-term sedation. • Pain & painful Procedures. • Organ problems (Renal, hepatic, brain, CVS). • Drug withdrawal (Alcohol, heroin, .....) • Prescriber & Prescription.

  11. Which Medication? Soliman et al, Brit J Anaesth 2001;87:186-92

  12. IV Anaesthetics; Thiopentone • Acts on the GABAA. • Zero order kinetics (accumulation). • Provides a cerebral protection effect. • Main uses in ICU: - High ICP. - Status epilepticus

  13. OH (CH3)2CH CH(CH3)2 IV Anaesthetics; Propofol 2,6 di-isopropyl phenol Short-term sedation (< 48 h)

  14. IV Anaesthetics; Propofol • Mechanisms of actions: - Acts on GABAA receptors in the hippocampus. - Inhibits of NMDA. •  IOP, ICP & CMRO2.

  15. IV Anaesthetics; Propofol • Decreases (10 – 30%): - HR. - SBP, DBP & MAP. - SVR. - CI. - SV.

  16. Target concentrations with ‘Diprifusor’ TCI Full ‘Diprivan’ PFSis loaded correctly Finger grip Tag = PMR(Programmaable Magnetic Resonance*) Aerial ‘Diprifusor’ TCI SubsystemRecognition software/electronics‘Diprifusor’ TCI Software/2 microprocessors Pumpsoftware Pump hardware

  18. IV Anaesthetics; Propofol • Propofol infusion syndrome: - Rare but fatal. - 1st described in children. - Infusion ≥ 5 mg/kg/hr or ≥ 48 hours.

  19. Propofol Infusion Syndrome • Clinical features: - Cardiomyopathy with acute cardiac failure. - Myopathy. - Metabolic acidosis, K+ - Hepatomegaly. • Inhibition of FFA entry into mitochondria  failure of its metabolism.

  20. IV Anaesthetics - Ketamine

  21. IV Anaesthetics - Ketamine • Phencyclidine derivative. • High lipid solubility (5–10 times > thiopental) crosses BBB faster. • Non-competitive antagonism at NMDA receptor

  22. IV Anaesthetics - Ketamine •  HR, BP. •  CBF, ICP & CMRO2. • Bronchial smooth muscle relaxant. • Excellent analgesic. • Dose: 5-30 µg/kg/min.

  23. Opioids; Morphine • Isolated in 1803 by the German pharmacist Friedrich Adam. • Named it 'morphium' after Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams.

  24. Opioids - Morphine • Plasma levels do not correlate with clinical effect. • Low lipid solubility causes slow equilibration across BBB. • Metabolized in the liver by conjugation. • Morphine-6-glucuronide (active).

  25. Remifentanil • Piperidine derivative. • Selective mu-receptor agonist. • Potency similar to fentanyl. • Terminal half-life < 10 min. • Rapid blood-brain equilibrium. • Metabolised by non-specific esterases.

  26. Remfentnil Acid 95% 1.5%

  28. Unwanted side-effects of opioids Opioids Confusion Vasodilation Respiratorydepression Gut motilitydepression

  29. Benzodiazepines

  30. Benzodiazepines; Midazolam • Water-soluble  lipid soluble in the body. • Produces sedation, anxiolysis and amensia. • Withdrawal agitation.

  31. α2-Adrenergic agonists Clonidine Dexmedetomidine

  32. α2 – agonists • Sedation-hypnosis: by an action on α2-receptors in the locus ceruleus. • Analgesia: by an action on α2-receptors within the locus ceruleus and the spinal cord

  33. α2 – agonists; Dexmedetomidine • 94% protein bound. • Narrow therapeutic range (0.5 - 1.0 ng/mL) • It undergoes conjugation & N-methylation. • Approved only for sedation ≤ 24 h.

  34. α2 – agonists • Haemodynamics Effects: -  heart rate. - Initial  then  BP. -  SVR. -  CO • No respiratory depression

  35. Unwanted side-effects of sedative agents General Over sedation Delayed awakening/extubation • 2-agonists • Hypotension • Bradycardia Benzodiazepines Hypotension Respiratory depression Agitation/Confusion Propofol Hypertriglyceridemia CVS depression Hypotension • Ketamine • Hypertension • Secretions • Dysphoria

  36. Assessment of Sedation • Ramsay Sedation Score. • Motor Activity Assessment Scale • Richmond Agitation–Sedation Scale. • Sedation – Agitation Score. • Modified Glasgow Coma Score.

  37. Ramsay Sedation Score

  38. Bispectral Index

  39. Is any place for neuro-muscular Blockers in ICU?

  40. Mehta S et al. Crit Care Med 2006; 34: 374

  41. * Under sedation: Fighting the ventilator. V/Q mismatch. Accidental extubation. Catheter displacement. CV stress  ischemia. Anxiety, awareness. Post-traumatic stress disorder. * Over sedation: Tolerance, tachyphylaxis. Withdrawal syndrome. Delirium. Prolonged ventilation. CV depression.  neuro testing. Sleep disturbance.
