  • Spontaneous Awakening Trials with Kali Dayton, DNP

    Spontaneous Awakening Trials with Kali Dayton, DNP
    Mar 19 2024
    Sedation and delirium can derail even the strongest patient's recovery in the ICU - but spontaneous awakening trials (SATs) can empower nurses to get ahead of this vicious cycle. In this candid episode, I pick the brain of Kali Dayton, an ICU nurse practitioner fervent about early mobility, pulls back the curtain on SATs, a tragically misunderstood intervention that involves stopping sedatives each day to reconnect with the patient. With a mix of hard data and bedside wisdom, Kali reveals SATs as a game-changer for bettering outcomes like delirium, ventilator days, and the chance of discharge to home. You'll hear practical tips on everything from managing agitated awakenings to recruiting family as awakening coaches. Whether you're routinely pawing through SAT policies or clueless about this critical care practice, this lively dialogue will upend assumptions about sedation and empower you to maximize your impact.

THIS! Thank you!

This is what we need in the profession, comfortable conversations with doctors and nurses that are geared towards working and experienced nurses filling in gaps and discussing these topics. I really appreciated listening to this and hope there is more down the road. Also relate to losing my dad from heart attack suddenly while I was in nursing school and I really enjoyed that episode as well as the potassium and bp discussion.
