In 2013 @SCCM published the ABCDEF bundle to:

💡 Reduce ICU delirium
💡 Deliver high value care
💡 Improve short/longterm critical care outcomes

While individual components can be implemented, best practice uses the whole bundle w/ all patients.

ICU patients are often unable to communicate pain.

The CPOT (Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool) is a validated, non-verbal assessment to ensure pain is controlled (score of >2 = pain that should be treated)
