Abstract(s)
A sedação em doentes críticos é uma prática essencial nas Unidades de Cuidados
Intensivos (UCI), visando garantir conforto, segurança e colaboração dos doentes
durante procedimentos invasivos. A escolha adequada dos fármacos sedativos, a
identificação das indicações clínicas, a avaliação de riscos associados ao excesso de
sedação e sedação insuficiente, bem como a utilização de escalas de monitorização, são
fundamentais para garantir a eficácia do tratamento e a melhoria dos resultados clínicos.
A análise dos fármacos mais utilizados, como o propofol, o midazolam, e
dexmedetomidina, destacam a importância de ajustar as doses conforme as necessidades
individuais, minimizando efeitos adversos de cada uma delas, como por exemplo, a
hipotensão, a depressão respiratória e a agitação excessiva. Além disso, a implementação
de protocolos de sedação bem estruturados e a monitorização contínua dos níveis de
sedação contribuem para a personalização do tratamento, otimizando a recuperação do
doente e reduzindo o risco de complicações. A sedação adequada tem um impacto
significativo no prognóstico, promovendo uma recuperação mais rápida e um menor
tempo de permanência na UCI.
Sedation in critically ill patients is an essential practice in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), aiming to ensure patient comfort, safety and cooperation during invasive procedures. The appropriate choice of sedative medications, identification of clinical indications, assessment of risks associated with oversedation and undersedation, as well as the use of monitoring scales, are essential to ensure the effectiveness of treatment and improvement of clinical results. The analysis of the most commonly used drugs, such as propofol, midazolam and dexmedetomidine highlights the importance of adjusting doses according to individual needs, minimizing adverse effects such as hypotension, respiratory depression and excessive agitation. In addition, the implementation of wellstructured sedation protocols and continuous monitoring of sedation levels contribute to the personalization of treatment, optimizing patient recovery and reducing the risk of complications. Adequate sedation has a significant impact on prognosis, promoting faster recovery and a shorter ICU stay.
