Webinar Summary

Pain, agitation and delirium (PAD) increase the burden of disease on critically ill patients, contributing to adverse outcomes. The 2013 PAD Guidelines for managing patients with these inter-related problems were updated in 2018, based on new evidence and input from a diverse, intraprofessional committee, resulting in “Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Pain, Agitation/Sedation, Delirium, Immobility and Sleep Disruption in Adult Patients in the ICU,” or the PADIS Guidelines. Brenda Pun, a leading implementer of the ABCDEF bundle, served on the 2018 guideline committee. In this webinar, she presents the PADIS Guidelines’ recommendations on the management of patients with pain, agitation and delirium, and their impact on clinical practice. She describes elements of the ABCDEF bundle and applies a case study to demonstrate the effectiveness of bundling interventions. In a second webinar, she will cover the guidelines’ recommendations on immobility and sleep disruption.

Objectives

  • Identify three recommendations from the PADIS Guidelines for treating critically ill adults in pain.
  • Compare your unit’s current practice to the PADIS Guideline recommendations regarding the use of sedation.
  • Describe how implementing the ABCDEF bundle impacts patient outcomes.
