    AbstractIn summary, there are now available very potent narcotics, with small side effect liability. Critical care physicians should be experts in administration of intravenous narcotics and should understand the concepts behind different methods of administration. Much more patient satisfaction and safety can be obtained if as much attention is paid to how a drug is administered as to its pharmacologic actions. Intravenous administration allows rapid and almost complete control of desired effect. Intravenous access is universally available in the ICU population, and we should take every advantage of it.
