In today’s question I want to explain what seems to be very confusing for many families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care!
Many families who come to seek out our expertise and advice seem to get confused about some of the terminology being used.
Today I want to look at some of the terminology and I want to make sure that you and your family understand the difference between an induced coma and sedation.
Let’s start with an induced coma.
An induced coma is a medically induced coma where critically ill Patients are put asleep by powerful sedatives(I.e. Propofol/Diprivan and/or Midazolam/Versed) and opioids(=strong killers I.e. Fentanyl, Morphine, Remifentanyl) in order to be able to tolerate mechanical ventilation and a breathing tube.
You may ask which issues are leading to what treatment and it’s obviously a chicken and egg question.
Is the induced coma leading to mechanical ventilation and the breathing tube or vice versa?
The answer is that it depends and in some instances a critical illness such as a severe Pneumonia, Asthma, rib fractures or COPD is leading to the inability to breathe, therefore it requires mechanical ventilation and a breathing tube as a first line and also as a life saving and life sustaining treatment.
