@PendlKM: "You didnt tune in to hear me say just turn up the drip or bolus so we won't be focusing on that" Fantastic start! #CHEST2020

@PendlKM: No clear definition for agitation in the ICU. And no widespread or validated tool for anxiety in the ICU. #CHEST2020

@PendlKM Left trying to interpret behaviors. This is problematic since these behaviors may or may not be due to agitation or anxiety, but rather due to other factors. #CHEST2020

@PendlKM: Non-pharmacologic interventions should be considered first #CHEST2020
