AbstractAside from being hard for physicians and staff to cope with, ICU agitation syndromes result in deterioration of hemodynamics and must be handled effectively. The interaction between pain and delirium is examined, as well as hemodynamic and metabolic syndromes that cause agitation in the ICU setting. The various medications useful in the treatment of pain and delirium are reviewed and new regimens discussed. Comprehensive treatment plans are reviewed for the profoundly agitated patient.
