In 2018, the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) released updated clinical practice guidelines for Pain, Agitation/sedation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep (PADIS).1 Effective implementation of the guidelines is integral to the intensive care management of the cardiovascular patient. Large scale quality improvement initiatives targeting PADIS guideline adherence have demonstrated improved patient experience, mortality, and resource utilization.2 This session will provide a focused, high-value update of current recommendations and practical implementation methodologies for those caring for patients in cardiovascular critical care.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

• assess and manage pain using multimodal approaches, including non-pharmacological options;
• assess, prevent, and treat delirium, including non-pharmacological options; and
• reducing immobility and ICU acquired weakness in patients requiring cardiorespiratory support (including patients on mechanical circulatory support); and
• SCCM endorsed resources available to practitioners free-of-charge.
