Abstract

The 2018 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Prevention and Management of Pain, Agitation (Sedation), Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep (Disruption) (PADIS) in adult patients in the ICU addresses new management challenges related to pain, agitation, and delirium and offers guidance on two additional topics rehabilitation/mobility and sleep (1, 2). The PADIS guidelines build on the 2013 Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) PAD guidelines (3) and incorporate a number of methodological innovations, including critical illness survivor input from start to finish (4 6). The PADIS methods, with an emphasis on those approaches that are novel, are outlined in a separate methods article (7).
