Abstract

Chapter 6 on analgosedation deals with different pain management strategies on the pediatric ICU. The need for medication is contrasted with the side effects and negative consequences of analgosedative drugs. In the context of the patient’s needs, hemodynamic and respirator strategies, and the evaluation of pain itself, different drugs and pain management strategies are evaluated. A practicable concept for managing different patient groups is presented, making an individualized approach to pain treatment against the background of overarching therapeutic targets feasible.
