Episode 75: Communicate. Don't Sedate.

When Jeff Sweat was about to be intubated, what was he told about what was to come? What information did his wife, Sunny Cannon, receive about the risks and reality of deep sedation? Was is it really like to "wake up" 3 weeks later? How have sedation, immobility, and tracheostomy impacted their family? Had they been allowed transparency and autonomy in Jeff's course, what would they have chosen? Photos, transcriptions, and citations at: www.DaytonICUConsulting.com @DaytonICUConsulting
