Sedation medications and Ventilated patients

Hi
I would like to know how your sites ensure patients are ventilated prior to starting propofol/fentanyl/midazolam/paralytics infusions? We use Epic and would like to know if there is a system enhancement to not allow ordering or verification or dispensing of sedation meds to non -ventilated patients?

Thank you
Pratixa Patel
