Sponsor's own description

Sedation and analgesia is a very important part of the comprehensive treatment of critically ill patients. The comprehensive management strategy of sedation and analgesia in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the control of infection, the application of antibiotics, and active recovery-are equally important. Effective sedation and analgesia assessment tools and reasonable comprehensive management strategies can not only improve patient comfort, reduce discomfort memory, but also reduce nursing workload and improve clinical outcomes. The "eCASH" theory proposed by Vincent et al. in 2016 further improved the comprehensive management strategy for sedation and analgesia. Its main contents are early analgesia to make patients comfortable, minimal sedatives and maximum humanitarian care. However, unreasonable sedation, especially early deep sedation, is closely related to the poor prognosis of patients. With the update of the ICU sedation and analgesia guidelines and the continuous progress of related research, ICU doctors have gradually deepened their understanding of sedation and analgesia. At present, the level of emergency ICU development in various regions of the country is uneven, and the implementation of sedation and analgesia may also vary greatly. Therefore, by investigating and understanding the implementation of emergency ICU or ICU sedation and analgesia in various regions of the country, you can indirectly understand the familiarity of medical staff with sedation and analgesia guidelines, and formulate corresponding strategies for specific situations, which may help improve critical illness. The level of sedation and analgesia of the patient improves the treatment effect.

So far, there are few domestic research reports on the implementation of sedation and analgesia in critical patients, especially the data in the emergency ICU. This study intends to investigate the implementation status of sedation and analgesia in critically ill patients in ICU, to understand the familiarity of medical staff with sedation and analgesia guidelines, and provide a basis for further measures.
