The ED-SED Pilot: a Multicenter, Before-After Study to Improve Sedation in the Emergency Department
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Education and Standard post intubation sedation practices for Mechanical Ventilation and Respiratory Failure. Completed, enrolled 1,771 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The ED-SED Pilot is a multicenter, prospective, before-and-after study conducted on 344 mechanically ventilated emergency department patients at three academic medical centers: Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine (St. Louis, MO), Cooper Hospital of Rowan University (Camden, NJ), and University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine (Iowa City, IA). The overall goal is to assess the feasibility of implementing targeted sedation (in terms of sedation depth) for mechanically ventilated ED patients in order to reduce the incidence of unnecessary deep sedation and improve clinical outcomes.

Timeline
Interventions
Nurses and physicians will be engaged regarding the clinical outcome data on the importance of ED-based sedation, and the objectives of the research. Education will include in-services and lectures focused on the importance of sedation protocols on patient outcome. The use of sedation will be evaluated throughout the study in order to better understand providers' perception of and experience with ED-based sedation protocols.
