Imagine being awake during mechanical ventilation – and unable to move, speak, or signal you’re in pain. That experience is awareness with paralysis (AWP), and it’s a growing concern linked to the use of neuromuscular-blocking agents. https://t.co/pmVLjaO…

A clinical consultation describes AWP as a traumatic event for patients that must be avoided through careful monitoring of neuromuscular blockade infusions and appropriate and adequate sedation during rapid sequence intubation procedures. https://t.co/O…
