64 EO is a 83 year old male admitted to the medical ICU with septic shock and respiratory failure. He is on day 2 of mechanical ventilation. He is currently on propofol 50 mcg/kg/min and fentanyl 25 mcg/hr. His BPS score is a 6 and his RASS score is a +1. He is being treated with antibiotics for a pneumonia and he is currently on a norepinephrine infusion at 0.4 mcg/kg/min and a vasopressin infusion at 0.04 units/min. Which of the following options would be best to improve EO s pain management? A. Add acetaminophen 1000mg Q6H via Gtube B. Increase propofol to 70 mcg/kg/min C. Switch propofol to midazolam D.
