For decades, we have culturally passed on the myth that patients are sleeping while sedated into medically induced comas. We have assured ourselves and each other that sedation "prevents PTSD".
Research has proven that sedation makes true restorative sleep impossible and real recall of the reality of the ICU is protective against post-ICU PTSD.
So what is really happening under sedation? If patients are not in sweet oblivion and restful slumber, what is their reality?
Chuck Evans joins us to share his startling story of being sedated and sleepless for weeks in the ICU.
