Core Tip It can be challenging for providers to manage critically ill patients in the neuro intensive care unit (ICU) due to the many factors hindering their ability to adequately assess the patient, such as altered baseline mental status as well as the addition of analgesics and sedatives. Relying on labs and imaging findings alone are often inadequate to assess patients and these multimodal neuroimaging methods should always be used adjunctively with comprehensive and thorough physical and neurological exams. This paper provides a structured overview of commonly used sedatives in the neuro ICU to assist intensivists in developing more individualized management decisions for each patient in hopes to further improve patient outcomes.
