Abstract

Abstract:

This article summarizes the application of objective assessment-guided precision analgesia and sedation in a patient with severe ARDS. The main nursing interventions included: accurate assessment-based analgesic therapy; neuromuscular transmission (NMT) monitoring to quantify muscle relaxation; bispectral index (BIS) monitoring to precisely adjust the depth of sedation; and progressive rehabilitation exercise. After active treatment and meticulous nursing care, the patient improved and was discharged after 21 days of hospitalization.

Key words: Objective evaluation, Analgesia and sedation, Acute respiratory distress syndrome, Lung protection ventilation
