Summary

The primary objective of this prospective, blinded observational study is to correlate assessment of sedation and respiratory status with capnography and pulse oximetry monitoring in hospitalized adult medical and trauma patients receiving patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) or nurse administered intravenous (IV) opioids for acute pain. Nursing assessment of respiratory status and sedation level will be correlated with capnography and pulse oximetry values as technology-supported monitoring to identify respiratory depression and opioid-induced sedation. The secondary objective is to identify capnography and pulse oximetry values that correlate with respiratory decompensation and opioid-induced sedation in medical and trauma patients on the general care floor.
