The ED-SED Pilot is a multicenter, prospective, before-and-after study conducted on 344 mechanically ventilated ED patients at three academic medical centers. Patients in the before phase of the study will receive usual care after the initiation of mechanical ventilation. After 172 patients have been enrolled in the before phase, the investigators will begin educational initiatives to implement ED-based sedation protocols and order sets. The research team will educate providers on the importance of sedation protocols on patient outcome so that the existing protocols begin to be used effectively in the ED. This educational initiative will allow targeted sedation to be effectively used in the ED as well, allowing the intervention to be tested under real-world conditions. Participants in the after phase will also receive standard post-intubation care at the discretion of the treating team, though it will be after the educational initiative aimed at improving post-intubation sedation. In order to more effectively use sedation in the ED, the investigators will collect voluntary and anonymous surveys from ED nurses and physicians to assess the potential facilitators and barriers to adherence to guideline-recommended sedation.
