Cycled Dexmedetomidine drips
Our ICU has started using cycled dexmedetomidine drips to promote a more normal sleep/wake cycle to prevent/treat ICU psychosis. The providers want to include naps as part of the workflows in our patients 2 years of age and younger. We are exploring order options within Epic to prompt the RN to change the doses and allow for usual barcode scanning. Does anyone have a process that works well at your organization?
