Awake & Moving in the ICU! Dr. Kali Dayton, DNP-Acute Care Nurse Practitioner is changing the Culture of oversedation in ICU Patients.

Dr Kali Dayton, DNP, AG-ACNP is a national speaker, highly sought after presenter at multiple critical care conferences and an intensive care unit team's consultant. She is an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with many years as a critical care, ICU, nurse. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice is taking on the culture of oversedation in ICU settings.

We discuss the MDs and APPs managing the units that must also be ready to frequently evaluate and assess patient's sedation and mobility.

We discuss critical care advocacy, awareness, education and training for intensive care units and changing their policies of standing orders and check list sedation.

Her program leads to decreasing sedation and increasing mobility, with evidence-based practices, research and case studies. Even the most critical patients, requiring mechanical support, ECMO, Vents etc. can be engaging and participating in their therapies.

This helps improve the outcomes for patients, decrease complications, decrease delirium and improve the economic impact on insurance and the hospitals.

This also helps increase the family and patient interactions.

If your hospital has an ICU, you need to have her come speak and evaluate your team's practices.
