Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So, today’s tip is about a question that we have from a reader who says, “Why is my grandfather not opening his eyes and not fully functioning even after the sedatives and the painkillers are reduced?” What a great question. So, let’s look at the bigger picture here.

When patients are in intensive care on a ventilator with a breathing tube, they are often induced into a coma with sedatives and opiates. Opiates are strong painkillers such as morphine and fentanyl. Sedatives that are often used in intensive care are propofol, midazolam/Versed, and sometimes Precedex as well. Precedex is dexmedetomidine.

Depending on the length of a coma, patients may or may not wake up quickly. Depending on what other things are going on, they may or may not wake up quickly. Depending on the dosage of sedatives and opiates used, patients may or may not wake up quickly and properly.
